On Saturday the Gunners visit Eastlands to face Sven Goran Erikssons Man City, a side that remain unbeaten following 12 games on home soil in the top-flight this term.

Obviously, the Citizens were punching above their weight early in the campaign when they topped the table for a few weeks, but while they've predictably failed to match strides with Arsenal, Chelsea and their neighbours United as the season has progressed, the City of Manchester outfit are a respectable seventh in the Premiership, just two points adrift of fourth-placed Everton.
