In previous years, Arsenal facing Manchester City would have felt like a title-deciding match, but with both trailing Liverpool by significant margins, Sunday feels like a clash for survival. The Gunners are faced with numerous injuries, trailing by seven points and hoping that something in the transfer market can turn their season around. City narrowly holds a top-four position and cannot afford to drop points in London.
