Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his side can overcome league leaders Manchester City at the Etihad this afternoon.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said that his side can come away with all three points when they visit high-flying Manchester City this afternoon.

The Frenchman's side top the Premier League's form table having won five of the last six while City, after a lightning start to the season, have won just one of the last three.

The Blues home form is immaculate, however. Roberto Mancini's men have won all seven in the league at the Etihad Stadium, conceding just four goals, but Wenger believes the Gunners can upset the odds.

"Their home form is absolutely exceptional and it is a massive test for us," said Wenger.

"If we play our best I think we can beat anybody. We can beat City."

A win for the North London side would see them leapfrog Spurs and Chelsea into third place in the Premier League.
