Arsenal host Manchester City in a key match in two races. City are desperately hoping to hunt down Manchester United - who've just opened an eight point lead - at the top of the table, while an Arsenal win would see them take an important lead in the three-way race for the last two Champions League spots. Failure to do so would see them end the weekend within three points of fith-placed Chelsea.
