What is at stake for Arsenal and Man City?

While Sunday’s fixture will not be regarded as a must-win by either Arsenal or Man City, both teams would receive a huge psychological boost if they were to pick up maximum points as they to bid finish top of the pile in the Premier League this term.

Arsenal’s only setback to date was at the hands of reigning champions Liverpool (1-0) and they will be keen to remain within touching distance of the Merseyside giants, who could be six points clear at the summit before the Gunners face City if they beat rivals Everton in Saturday’s early kickoff.

As for Man City, who sit three points further behind Arsenal in eighth spot, they returned to winning ways with a much-needed and deserved 3-0 derby win over rivals Manchester United last weekend and they are aiming to end a run of five games without a win against Arsenal in all competitions.
