Sanchez could easily add to his dozen Premier League strikes



Last term, this Etihad encounter finished 6-3 in City's favour; a key result for Manuel Pellegrini's men en route to winning the Premier League title.

The Etihad has been a real fortress for them since they became a footballing force.
Arsene Wenger's Gunners, meanwhile,  to upset the champions in Manchester, and have rampant attacker Alexis Sanchez experiencing a real purple patch.
Joined by Olivier Giroud up front and the guile of the returning Mesut Ozil in behind him, super Sanchez could easily add to his dozen Premier League strikes so far. Both he and France centre forward Giroud already have goals against City this season.

Pellegrini has Sergio Aguero back, and he has made plenty of impact against Arsenal in the past. Only Chelsea's Brazilian-born Spain striker Diego Costa has more Premier League goals than the lethal Argentina international in the current campaign.

Supplied by former Gunners favourite Samir Nasri and guileful Spaniard David Silva, Aguero will not want for supply.


Each of the last six meetings across all competitions between M.City and Arsenal has contained at least two goals on the outright match result in their latest battle.

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season.

A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
