'It gives me a very clear idea of what they will be looking to do': Mikel Arteta confident insider knowledge will help Arsenal against Manchester City

Mikel Arteta is hopeful his insider knowledge can help Arsenal upset Manchester City - and end their miserable run against his former side.

Arteta spent three seasons at the Etihad working alongside Pep Guardiola. In that time, Arsenal lost seven of nine meetings and won only once.

The Gunners have also shipped three goals in five of their last six clashes with City but ahead of tomorrow's meeting at the Etihad, Arteta believes his insight will be crucial.

'It gives me a very clear idea of what they are trying to do, what they will be looking to do,' he said.
