Manchester City head to the Emirates looking for a 13th straight league win. Arsenal are in 10th place and 22 points behind their opponents. The Gunners are still battling hard to qualify for Europe next season but are eight points behind fifth place. Sixth or perhaps seventh might be good enough if top teams win the two domestic cups. Arsenal of course could yet end up in the Champions League if winning the Europa League. They had been making a good recovery but go into this match having won only one of their last four league games with two lost. One good bit of news for them is the return to form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has five goals in his last three home league games.

Can he get past the Manchester City defence though? They have only conceded two goals in their last nine league games and one of those was a penalty. It's all part of City's fantastic form that has seen them win their last 17 games in all competitions, including 12 in the Premier League. All of which has taken them ten points clear and on their way to another Premier League title. It's anyone's guess what they might be able to achieve when De Bruyne and Aguero return to first team action. City have won their last six away league games, scoring 17 goals in the last five. The reverse fixture saw them win 1-0 at home. They haven't lost to Arsenal in the Premier League since 2015 and another win is on its way this weekend.
