Arsenal host Manchester City at the Emirates tonight in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
The Gunners are in dismal form in the Premier League and need a result here to give Mikel Arteta a boost and the squad some much-needed confidence. Yet they will have to do it against a Manchester City side who are slowly finding some form.
City have put together a series of clean sheets and are the meanest defence in the top flight, while Arsenal’s goals-scored tally of 12 is the worst outside the bottom three.

On the other side of the spectrum, Pep Guardiola’s team have a phenomenal record in this competition and are aiming to win it for a fourth consecutive year, having not been eliminated from it for a frankly ridiculous 1,518 days. They will be hoping to extend that even further tonight as they bid to stay on track for the first silverware of the season.
