Here is how Manchester City and Arsenal will line up this weekend:
Manchester City welcome Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium this weekend for their latest Premier League clash.
City are currently flying high at the top of the table and are playing some of the best attacking football seen in years, while Arsenal are down in fifth place, already nine points behind Pep Guardiola’s side.
If City win today it could all but end Arsenal’s already unlikely title challenge, but Arsene Wenger’s side could shake things up with a win of their own.
The Gunners certainly have the players to cause a shock against City, and this one should have goals for both teams if they play to their full potential.
City should come out on top but they will not be taking Arsenal for granted, especially when you consider they have gone on a decent run of form in recent weeks, defeating Everton and Swansea City since their setback against Watford last month.
