While their form in the Europa League has help slightly lift the gloom, the home side's domestic form has gone from bad to worse, with the Gunners currently occupying the unfamiliar lower reaches of the Premier League in 15th, meaning a win in this tournament may provide Mikel Arteta's side's only route into European competition next season.

While Man City boss Pep Guardiola's troubles are far less acute than his opposite number and former number 2, his expensively assembled side are neverthless far from firing on all cylinders, and find themselves 8 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool at this early stage in the title race.

Despite their slow start, City do come into this clash in something of a run of form. Unbeaten in their last eight games across all competitions, they also boast an impressively lean defensive record, with seven clean sheets and only one goal conceded during that period.

The Gunners, meanwhile are teetering on the unthinkable brink of being sucked into a relegation battle, with only bottom club Sheffield United registering a worse recent record. 

The weekend's defeat to Everton will have only compounded the pressure on Arteta, but he can at least look to his side's excellent cup form since taking over the hot seat at Ashburton Grove.

Since taking over last year, Arteta has lead the Gunners to both the the FA Cup and Community Shield, while his side have also  won all six of their Europa League group games during this campaign.

Arsenal will be without their skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for this match due to a calf injury, while Thomas Partey is also still sidelined while Granit Xhaka remains suspended.

Man City, meanwhile could be without striker Gabriel Jesus due to the unusual ailment of a "condition in his teeth".
