Our game on Thursday may have a feeling of déjà vu, as we met the Gunners on Sunday in the Carabao Cup final.
Sunday saw Pep Guardiola lift his first City trophy, as his side sealed a brilliant 3-0 win at Wembley with goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva.
Before our League final win, we last met the Gunners in the Premier League back in November as the Blues took the three points thanks to a 3-1 victory at the Etihad.
In November goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and an Aguero penalty secured the win.

Press conference
Word from the opposition
“I felt it was a very tight game until the 2-0 [on Sunday]. When you look at the end of the game, Man City had three shots on target and we had two,” Arsene Wenger said during his pre-match press conference.
“So overall, I believe that we have to turn the decisive moments in our favour [this time] and play with more freedom than we did.
“I think we played a bit apprehensively and that is important that we go into the game with that force that is part of our game and our philosophy.”
