This is a huge test. Our home form is magnificent, but Arsenal are the real deal this season imo. Those few who think they aren't genuine contenders need to wake up quickly. We need to get at them, no holds barred from the fist second and never let up till the last. We can send out a real statement here by giving them a right spanking. Mertesacker has been great this season and i've always rated Koscielny. But Mertesacker makes Demichelis look quick, Aguero, Negredo, Silva, Nasri etc should give him a nightmare... Koscielny also get's frustrated easily and makes rash decisions...
Get at them and we "Should" be too much for them at the Etihad.
I'll go for a convincing 4-1
