Premier League leaders Arsenal face a showdown this Wednesday as they make a trip to Etihad Stadium to go up against second-placed Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta's men have drawn their last three league games and have seen their lead at the top cut to just five points over City who have played two games less.
In fact, if City end up defeating Arsenal on Wednesday, the Premier League title might well be in their grasp. Arsenal, on the other hand, have to beat City to ensure their title destiny remains in their own hands.
Meanwhile, Manchester City continue to be in marauding form as they remain unbeaten in 16 successive matches across all tournaments - winning 13 of them. If they get the three points against Arsenal they will be in the driver's seat in the Premier League title race.
Here's all the key information on the match, including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, and lineups.
