Good afternoon!

And welcome to Mail Sport's live blog for what should be a cracking match between Manchester City and Arsenal.

It is only matchday five in the new Premier League season and yet this match could play a huge factor as to where the title will go in this 38-match season.

Manchester City have been in electric form so far this campaign and they could build a five point lead over their expectant title challengers this season.

Arsenal have fallen short of City for the title in the last two seasons, but win today and they go top - which might be very early in the campaign, but would put a real stamp on their credentials to end their league drought.
