Manchester City are set to host Arsenal at the Etihad stadium in a crucial league game.
City need 3 points from the game to get a better chance of qualifying for Champions league as Manchester United is just a point behind, with a game in hand. Arsenal are also in danger of not qualifying if they drop points in their last two games.
Key Match stats:
- Arsenal are unbeaten in their last four league meetings with Manchester City (W2, D2), winning the last two.
- The Gunners won 2-1 when the teams met in December – they haven’t completed the league double over City since 2007-08.
- City have only won one of their 13 matches against the current top eight in the Premier League this season (D3, L9) – that victory came against Southampton.
- Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight league matches, although they have drawn half of those.
