Thoughts On Tactics And Starting Eleven Against Man City

This is a tough one to call. Arsenal are very strong at home in the Carling Cup the last eight games ending in wins with a cumulative score of 23-3. On the other hand, City are probably the only club that can put out a second-string side that would not look far out of place in the Premiership.

For the visitors, Dzeko, Adam Johnson, Nigel De Jong, Kolo Toure, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Savic, and even Hargreaves might get a start.
