The Gunners, meanwhile, are still odds-on, which is very much down to the fact that they already have the points on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Having games in hand is all well and good, but City have to make sure they capitalise, starting with the clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more news on Man City?
