Manchester City v Arsenal: match preview

Manchester City v Arsenal
Manchester City v Arsenal: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Manchester City know if Manchester United and West Ham United lose their respective matches then victory over Arsenal secures a place in next season’s Champions League. For the away side, a draw for each of the Uniteds means Arsenal cannot be overtaken in their quest for a place in the top four. Whatever the results beforehand, expect both sides to go for the win their instincts demand. Jamie Jackson
