It's not quite a must-win for City, but it's close.

As for the Gunners, they are in fourth place with a record of 14-5-5 and 47 points. Level with Chelsea on points and with Manchester United not far behind, now is the time to stay focus and get points anyway you can with 14 games to go.

Storylines

Arsenal: The Gunners have done well to get back into the top four, and they have certainly benefited by Chelsea's recent struggles. But Arsenal, for the most part, has had trouble beating the big boys. A point here wouldn't be all that bad, and the confidence is there. But the big question is how can Arsenal's defense compete with City's attack. When it comes to the top five teams, the Gunners have given up nine goals more than anyone else.

Man. City: Five points back and fortunate it isn't more after Liverpool's draw with Leicester, the next few weeks for the Citizens will tell us plenty. City has to place the Gunners, Everton and Chelsea in its next three games. That won't be easy, and getting anything less than seven points could put them in a super tough spot midway through the month.
