I covered Arsenal's draw with Sporting on Wednesday for 5 Live. The Gunners are good defensively, and got through the tie pretty comfortably, but their problem is they don't look like they are going to score.

There are still a lot of things that are good about Mikel Arteta's side with the way they press and how organised they are, but they are struggling to break teams down.

They are lacking that bit of flair in the final third, which is where you fancy City really, but then Arsenal don't need to win this game either.

A draw is a good result for them so Arteta's side are not going to approach it with all guns blazing – they will play with balance and, if they get the job done with a boring 0-0, they will be a step closer to winning the title.

As for City, I am often wrong but I am not as convinced by their recent form as some people are.

Even so, I do think they will edge this. The nature of this game means it is going to be tight and very stop-start but, whether it is Jeremy Doku or Antoine Semenyo, they have the players capable of producing the bit of magic they will need to win it.

Sutton's prediction: 1-0
