Arsenal are one point behind fourth placed Manchester United while Citizens are two points behind league leaders Chelsea.
With Manchester United and Chelsea facing relatively easy games at the weekend, one or both of City and Arsenal are likely to lose ground.
Arsenal have been inconsistent, one game they have been brilliant, the other completely woeful. They were fantastic against Stoke last weekend thanks to World Class Alexis Sanchez.
City on the other hand dropped points against Everton and will hope that they can repeat last year’s performance and comfortably beat Arsenal at the Etihad.
As far as Arsenal team news is concerned, record signing Mesut Ozil returned from injury to get some game time against Stoke.
Expect the German international to start the game against Citizens and he might be the one to make a huge difference in the game along with Alexis Sanchez.
Here is Arsenal’s probable XI vs Manchester City.

I needs to see rosicky at d squad.
I need welbeck
Please don’t start monreal and chamber’s both player are too slow in pitch.is hard for them to intercept any crosing
I think we should put two physical strikers up front, Welbeck and Giround. Put Ozil behind those two, put Sanchez right and Carzola left.
Alexis and Walcott on the flanks, Cazorla behind Giroud, Le Coq and Rosicky as the defensive duo. Ospina between the sticks.
Chambers at right back is disaster calling, he has been very poor playing in that position. remember his performance at Swansea! I prefer Bellerin, notwithstanding many may think he lacks the experience.
Play Bellerin at right back. Chambers is the real problem.
I think the team that started against stoke should start and chambers replacing debuchy. Let Francis c. Retain his position , he has done marvelously well in front of the back four.while theo n ozil should see at least 25mins playing time in the second half
we need ALEXIS and OXLADE on the wings, CARZOLA no10, Thomas and COQUELIN infront of the back4, per+kos+chambers+Nacho as defenders. ospina should continue in goal and Giroud striking! subs WALCOT= ox. özil = giroud. then any other from joel, szcszney, bellerin, flamini,GIBBS
Arsenal is not Arsenal without Oxy – Chamberlin . He is the right person compared to Ozil in such rough much expected over the weekend. Once we beat them we shall have promtem them to beat other top four teams and help us bring the trophy Emmirates.

Where the hell is Ox Chamberlin. Are you guys joking. He’s faw away better than even ozil. He’s the second best player in the team after Alexis
Ozil is not ready yet to start a match especially against Man City. He will make a very good sub in the second half. Play Sanchez on the left and Carzola in the hole behind Giroud. I prefer Bellerin over Chambers. The rest that started the Stoke city game should keep their place.
Ozil not yet fit. has been out for long let him start 3 or 4 matches from the bench to play 20 to 25 minutes in each game and see how he progresses.we dont have any problem in his position.carzola is doing a tremendous job there.
Ozil not match fit yet, the only change from the team that started against Stoke would be Gibbs (if he’s fit) for Monreal because Navas is fast. Most wingers with speed has been a problem for him
I would go for benching Ozil, play Santi in the middle and pull Ox on the wing. Then play welbeck in case he is fit, benching Giroud instead. His attitude on the pitch hasn’t been very good since the self inflicted send off during the QPR game.
Please don’t start Chambers.
I dont need chambers there but rather bellerin and ozil should start from substitute.
Sanches and Ox Chamberlain to start on the wings, Carzola behind a striker. Striker I will go for Welbeck if he is fit.
Start with bellerin instead of starting chambers at the right back
