Arsenal return to the Etihad Stadium tonight for the first time since they were hammered 5-0 there at the start of last season but, thankfully for Mikel Arteta, the circumstances could not be more different.
The Gunners were in disarray when they travelled to City then, and defeat left them bottom of the Premier League after three games. It was the club’s worst start since 1954, and during those three losses they failed to score a single goal.
