Arsenal host Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, with the home side desperate for a win to stay in touch with league leaders Liverpool and the away side keen for a victory to maintain the revival of their difficult season.
Arsenal are second in the league table on 47 points, nine points behind Liverpool, while City are in fourth place on 41 points.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 13 league games. City, however, endured a dismal run leading up to Christmas but have regained form by recording four wins and a draw in their last five league matches.
