Manchester City are currently occupying eight position on the Premier League table with 23 points after 13 games played which is not a good one for Guardiola and his men.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Manchester City ran riot on Tuesday night, December 22, as the Citizens defeated Arsenal 4-1 right at the Emirates Stadium in the Carabao Cup.

The Gunners have now been eliminated from the quarter-final stage of the competition more times than any other side in the competition’s history.

It was a bizzare start for Mikel Arteta's men after Gabriel Jesus headed home the first goal as early as the 2nd minute.

Zinchenko had all the time and space in the world to whip a cross in from the left and Gabriel Jesus popped-up unopposed in the six-yard box to glance a header past Runarsson.

Arsenal restored parity through Alexandre Lacazette who headed into the far corner in the 32nd minute to put his side back into the game.

City restored their lead in the 55th minute after Riyad Mahrez wrapped a free-kick around the wall which was too hot to handle for the Arsenal goalkeeper as he spilled it into his own net. 2-1
