City went into the meeting off the back of a defeat at Tottenham Hotspur but knowing that a win would move us closer to leaders Arsenal.
Unai Emery’s side had won three of their last five league games before the trip to the Etihad so Pep Guardiola, who celebrated his 250th Premier League game, was well aware of the threat they posed.
Ahead of this one, we had won our last 12 Premier League home games against Aston Villa, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and secure the Premier League title on the final day last season.
