Arsenal can take a huge step towards their first Premier League title in nearly 20 years on Wednesday when they travel to Manchester City. The Gunners can go eight points clear of their title rivals but they must win at the Etihad Stadium for the first time since 2015.
Mikel Arteta's side have won 23 of their 32 league games this season and have been in superb form all season. However, a run of three games without a win has seen their lead over City cut short to only five points.
Tonight's clash has been touted as 'do or die', with the winners widely expected to go on and win the Premier League next month. The pressure is on for both teams.

Every aspect of the evening will be vital in the outcome. Man City are expected to be without Nathan Ake, leaving Pep Guardiola with a key decision to make in defence whilst the Gunners will be sweating on Granit Xhaka's recovery from illness.
Arteta must get his pre-match team talk spot on if his side are going to cause an upset in M11. The Spaniard is renowned for his delivery of motivation after the Amazon 'All or Nothing' documentary.
And ahead of the game, Jason Sudeikis - football coach Ted Lasso in Apple TV's television series - has provided what his team talk would be like if he was Arteta. "I'd probably talk about whatever Pep's wearing," the American actor told Gary Neville.
"'You see that shirt that he had on, that turtle neck. Boy it looks good'. I don't know. Do you think he ever eats bread? Has he ever had a beer? His physique. Boy, he knows. He knows how to move those fellas around.
"I spoke to him, I didn't understand a word that he said, but I loved it. I don't know how to play the trumpet but I know I like it."
