Preview

Mikel Arteta goes head-to-head with his former boss Pep Guardiola, having spent three-and-a-half years as the assistant coach at Manchester City before taking over at Arsenal.

Man City could move seven points clear of third-placed Leicester City, while Arsenal are aiming to overtake Tottenham Hotspur and close the eight-point gap to fourth place.

The first game back for both sides is a massive test.

Prediction

City and Arsenal come in to this off the long layoff, so take in to account form and rust. I see City playing up to its level and securing a win. Pep will have the squad ready.

Manchester City 2-0 Arsenal
