Match pointers

• Since their last league win at Arsenal in October 1975, City have scored just nine goals in 26 visits to north London

• If he scores in this match, Robin van Persie will become only the fourth player to score against 17 different teams in a Premier League season – after Andy Cole (1993-94), Alan Shearer (1995-96) and Ian Wright (1996-97)

• There have been three red cards in the last three league meetings between these sides

• Arsenal have failed to score in five of their last six games against City in all competitions, including the last three at the Emirates Stadium

• Before Christmas David Silva scored five goals and provided eight assists but since Christmas he has not scored any goals and has managed just four assists.
