Manchester City are looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season by dispatching Champions League hopefuls Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, and based on their home form so far this year it'd be surprising if that was particularly problematic. Samir Nasri, a Gunner until earlier this season, has the chance to rub some salt in the wounds of his former employers - he starts to the left of Sergio Aguero in City's 4-2-3-1 - although it's David Silva one would imagine Arsenal's all-centre-back defence will be focusing on.
