Arsenal host Manchester City at the Emirates tonight in hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners are on a bad run in the league, but they can give their coach Mikel Arteta an indispensable touch with victory here.
But there will be little respite if they do not place here an outcome against a Manchester City team that is gradually locating form.
City has assembled a series of blank blades and is the most unpleasant defender on the first flight, while Arsenal’s total of 12 goals is the worst on the outside of the last three.
On the other side of the spectrum, Pep Guardiola’s team has a phenomenal track record at this festival and aspires to win it for the fourth year in a row, having been withdrawn for 1518 frankly ridiculous days and hope to make it even bigger that night as they check out to stay on the path of the first cutlery of the season.
