Gundogan sets City challenge ahead of Arsenal
Ilkay Gundogan insists that Manchester City will be risking all when they take on Arsenal.
The Premier League champions take on the league leaders in a rearranged game that looks even more tempting than it did back in autumn when it was originally scheduled. Arsenal have been at the top of the table for most of the season, yet City could dislodge them with three points at the Emirates on Wednesday night.

There is still a long way to go in a season that is not as far on as teams normally are in February because of the break for the World Cup, yet the two meetings still to be played between the top two are set to have a significant say on where the trophy ends up come the end of May. City welcome Arsenal in April, but head to North London on the back of a reassuring 3-1 win over Aston Villa following turbulence on and off the pitch in recent weeks.
Guardiola adds to City penalty confusion
Pep Guardiola said that there will be a discussion on Monday about Manchester City penalties after the confusion surrounding their most recent one.
Riyad Mahrez went straight to the spot when Jack Grealish was brought down in the box, only for Rodri to run and grab the ball. The midfielder then had an animated discussion with club captain Ilkay Gundogan, with City No.9 Erling Haaland also in attendance, before handing the ball for Mahrez to smash in City's third.
Rodri had confirmed after the game that he wanted to take the penalty, but relented when told to do so by Gundogan. However, Guardiola indicated after the game that he had wanted Haaland to take it.
