Mikel Arteta warned his Arsenal players he will be ready to 'kill' them if they crack under the pressure of facing Manchester City.
Wednesday's massive game could decide who eventually claims the Premier League title in May as whoever emerges victorious will have the advantage going into the final games of the season. Table-topping Arsenal are five points clear at present but have drawn their last three matches, including against bottom-side Southampton, to leave the door open for City.
The Blues can shrink the gap to just two points if they win at the Etihad and as they have two games in hand on the Gunners they will be clear favourites to lift the title for a third successive year. The importance of the fixture isn't lost on anyone, especially Arsenal boss Arteta who has made the punishment for his players if they fail to perform clear.
