Arsenal and Manchester City Clash in Crucial FA Cup 4th Round Match

Manchester City and Arsenal will both be looking to end the weekend with smiles on their faces as the top two sides in the Premier League face off in the FA Cup fourth round.

Friday night's match is a two-part instalment between the two teams with a crucial league game between them just 19 days later. For City, the FA Cup could possibly be their best chance at a trophy this season as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Southampton and were controversially defeated by Manchester United in last month's derby.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are top of the Premier League table with a five-point lead - that could be extended to eight with a win in their game in hand - and their focus when the whistle blows could be on ensuring the momentum carries over to the league match.

Both teams come into the clash having won their last two matches in all competitions, with City downing Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves and Arsenal beating Crystal Palace and Leeds United.

The match will be closely contested with neither team wanting to give an advantage to the opposition. Arsenal have not had a win at the Etihad since January 2015 - losing 13 of the previous 16 meetings - and this is the perfect opportunity for the Gunners to prove their title-winning ability.

Friday night, it's City vs. Arsenal - who will come out on top? Tune in to find out.
