Man City and Arsenal have two massive Premier League games coming up, but tonight the two teams will meet in the world’s oldest cup competition – the FA Cup.
Arsenal travel north having cemented their place at the top of the Premier League with a dramatic win over Man United last weekend, and have a chance to lay down a marker for the games ahead.

The Gunners have won the FA Cup 14 times, which is more than anyone else, so will hope their pedigree in the tournament can carry them through to round 5.
City have been a mixed bag since the resumption of domestic action following the World Cup. However, a second half fightback at Spurs earlier this month seems to have awoken something in the current Premier League champions.
Of course, there’s also the growing rivalry between the two managers to consider. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta served an apprenticeship of sorts under Pep Guardiola at City, so the student will be hoping to get the better of the master on Friday night.
