Arsenal will be aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to six points when they face title rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
After drawing 1-1 at home to Brentford on Saturday, the Gunners saw the buffer reduced to just three points on Sunday as the Citizens claimed a comfortable 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
The hosts are only one of two clubs - alongside Newcastle - who are yet to lose a home Premier League game this season, and they will be aiming to keep that record intact against the reigning champions.
