Manchester City vs. Arsenal: Five Potential Match Winners for Arsenal.
 Arsenal takes on Manchester City on Sunday at Eastland in what is expected to be a pulsating encounter. It is a game of huge significance for both teams, who will look to earn all three points available. 
Arsenal will have their work cut out against a star studded Manchester City team, who are currently second in English Premier League.
Roberto Mancini has, arguably, the strongest squad in the English Football, and will certainly fancy their chances against Arsene Wenger’s men at City of Manchester Stadium. It will be a huge task for the Gunners to gain all three points again with such
a strong opposition,
Arsenal will have to be at their best to defeat Citizens, and here are five Arsenal players, who could prove to be the difference for their team.
Theo Walcott
The English speedy right winger made a short appearance in midweek match and undoubtedly he will be in the squad for this important game.
Although he might not start the game but he will have an important role to play for Arsenal. His extraordinary pace and finishing ability will create problems for defenders, and if he can reproduce his superb form, he showed in the initial games in this
season, he could be a game changer for the Gunners.
Theo’s pace down the wings is a huge asset, and he will look to exploit left back of Manchester City. Walcott will still be a little short of match fitness, which is why he might find his name on the list of substitutes but expect him to make some speedy
runs down the right flank at some stage in this crucial game.
Alex Song
The Cameroon International is one of the most vital players for the Gunners, and he will have a major role to play in deciding the outcome of the game.
Alex Song will try to orchestrate attacks from the back and look to start counter attacks for his team. Song has improved in the attacking side of his game but should make that he does not neglect his defensive duties in the game.
Andrei Arshavin
Arsenal manager restated his confidence in Arshavin by supporting the diminutive left winger to be at his best in the near future.
Even though, the Russian has not been at his best, he has got pretty decent figures and is presently among the top goal scorers for Arsenal. 
The Russian skipper has shown glimpses of his intelligence in this season but has surely not played to his potential.
If Arshavin can weave his magic against Manchester City, then the opposition defenders will have a tough task on hand.
Samir Nasri
The Frenchman is one of the most creative players and he has had an inspiring season, so far.
The French prodigy occupied the central role, when Arsenal talismanic skipper Fabregas was injured during the latter stages of the last season but has already featured in a number of matches in a role behind the striker in this season.
The 23-year-old French international is a versatile midfielder and plays on the flanks. Nasri was not prolific in the last season but is currently Gunners’ leading goal scorer with six goals to his name. Nasri has been outstanding for Arsenal and will command
a starting place in this upcoming match against City.
Cesc Fabregas
Arsenal captain’s return to fitness is a huge boost, as Cesc Fabregas is easily Gunners’ most creative midfielder and is the heartbeat of the team.
The Spanish playmaker can inspire Arsenal to produce a great performance against Manchester City. The world cup winner was the Gunners’ top scorer and leader in assists in the last season and remains one of their most significant players.
The 23-year-old skipper of Arsenal will create opportunities to score, and the forwards need to make full use of the chances that they are provided with.
He will lead Arsenal on Sunday and can prove to be the difference between the two sides.
