How Arsenal would love to follow being the last team to defeat Manchester City (in April’s FA Cup semi-final) by being the first this season. City, though, are flying with the manager particularly content with the goal tally – 49 in all competitions – and the mental strength of his players. Arsenal are nine points behind and if they wish to be in the title race they need to win at the Etihad Stadium.
