Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has predicted an intense game between his old team and Arsenal when the two meet on Wednesday night. The sides are both battling it out for the Premier League title this season, with both the Gunners and City having their fate in their own hands.
It may require a win at the Etihad Stadium for Mikel Arteta to gain the advantage though, with their gap at the top reduced to just five points, with their rivals holding two games in hand. After three consecutive draws in a row, the Spaniard is looking for his side to battle back.
"We knew from the beginning that City was the team to beat with Liverpool because of what those teams have done in the past few years," Arteta said in the build-up to the game. "They fully deserve that credit and to be at the top. We wanted to close that gap as much as we could and we’re toe-to-toe with them.
