The two sides battling for the league crown are set to go head to head today at the Etihad stadium. And each side knows what is at stake. Arsenal who last won the title with the Invincibles in 2004 are looking for their first league title in 19 years.

They are also the favorites to win this season’s UEFA Champions League title. They take on record winners Real Madrid in the semifinals. The Gunners are 5 points above Manchester City but have played two games more.
