We had played less than 48 hours beforehand at the Emirates, another away at Brentford, with a left-back who had been beaten up in his home the night before and still won.
Our form isn't disconcerting, Arsenal's has been excellent and you will have to be nigh on perfect to still best this City team, such is the benchmark we have set for ourselves and the league in general.
The Arsenal game last season is totally looked at in a skewed manner from Arsenal fans. At the time City had a COVID outbreak and had a game forty eight previous.
Arsenal had no European football and had bombed out of most cups. They had no game after boxing day so had the entire week to prepare.
We were without Foden, Grealish, Zinchenko and Stones and had a game forty eight hours before.
I'm not surprised Arsenal were more fresh and up for it.
