Well City have a strong home record beating both Chelsea and Liverpool there whilst keeping a clean sheet as well. It'll be a tough ask for the Gunners, but Arsenal more than capable of going there and taking all 3 points if they play to their best. It wouldn't be a suprise if we took all 3 points although it would to the neutrals.
Man City Team News: Mancini could be boosted by the return of Mario Balotelli for Sunday's encounter with the Gunners.
The young Italy international has been restricted to just 33 minutes action after suffering a knee injury during his debut against Timisoara in August.
However, after emerging unscathed from training, the £23million forward is likely to be on the bench for the Blues, who are looking to consolidate second spot.
Emmanuel Adebayor, who bagged a hat-trick against Lech Poznan in the Europa League on Thursday could keep his place to face his former club.
That would mean City lining up in a 4-4-2 formation and Yaya Toure is likely to miss out despite returning to fitness from a knee injury.
Toure's brother Kolo has been struggling with a hamstring complaint and Sunday's game may have come too soon for the former Arsenal centre-back but he has been included in the matchday squad.
Arsenal Team News: Wenger will hope a return to fitness of several of his key players will help end their away blues and the Frenchman has Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner all back from injury.
Gunners skipper Fabregas marked his return to action with a goal in Arsenal's 5-1 demolition of Shakhtar Donetsk in UEFA Champions League duty, while winger Walcott came off the bench in that win and striker Bendtner was an unused substitute.
Jack Wilshere caught the eye in midweek, but the teenage England international begins his three-match suspension after his reckless challenge on Nikola Zigic in last weekend's win over Birmingham City.
And the likes of Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles), Robin van Persie (ankle), Manuel Almunia (elbow) and Aaron Ramsey (leg) all remain out, but Laurent Koscielny (back) and Bacary Sagna (thigh) could return.
Line ups:
Man City: Hart, Boyata, Lescott, Kompany, Richards, Milner, Barry, De Jong, Silva, Tevez, Yaya Toure
Arsenal: Fabianski, Clichy, Squillaci, Djourou, Sagna, Arshavin, Fabregas, Denilson, Song, Nasri, Chamakh
Come oooooooooooooooooooooooooon
