Manchester City will have the chance to trim the gap
between themselves and leaders Arsenal to three points in the Premier
League when they host the Gunners on Saturday.
Manuel Pellegrini's side will head into the clash at the Etihad Stadium placed fourth in the table with 29 points from 15 matches, six points behind the North London club.
The Citizens have a perfect record at home in the league, having won seven out of seven, scoring 29 goals and conceding just two in the process.
City's away form has also shown signs of improvements over the past week or so, as they staged a 3-2 comeback victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.
On the other hand, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal will go to Manchester on the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Napoli in Europe that still proved to be enough for them to sneak into the last 16 of the Champions League.
