Man city's head to head stats this season can't be compared to arsenal's... That'll be a big flattery, I believe that's what you wanted to say?
I think arsenal still stands a chance to win this match and claim 'em 3 points that'll be added to their grade-point average. But you know, in turns, since arsenal is already giving in much effort to maintain their position in the premiership, they might as well perform less tonight.
Manchester City must be ahead of Arsenal because this match is played at the Etihad Stadium. They need to take advantage of this opportunity to win, it will change their bad record against Arsenal in the FA Cup.
I'm really expecting serious match from both teams, no one is taking each other for granted and it will be reat encounter when Arsenal are in top form. At the same time I want to get proof that Arteta and his team are better than Manchester City, this is an opportunity - but it will be difficult.
I was searching some old time records on Google some hours ago, to see the result of all the matches where Manchester city have played against Arsenal in the previous years, I discovered that Arsenal have never won or beat Manchester city on any of their previous matches in the last 2 to 3 years.
So if they(Arsenal) manage to beat Manchester city on this game coming up, it will really be a big achievement for them and their fans..
All the same, I wish them the best of luck..
