Rooney warned that losing games can cause players to worry about where the next win will come from.<\/p>\n \u201cThat negative mindset really has an impact on your performance,\u201d the former striker added. The former England captain suggested that Mikel Arteta\u2019s side might even need to \u201cplay dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n Moreover, Arsenal must remain resilient and avoid leaving gaps between their defensive lines. Rooney urged the Gunners to do anything to stop their rivals from winning.<\/p>\n \u201cThey need to be resilient enough to stop City from scoring,\u201d Rooney explained. City enter the match after beating Chelsea 3-0 to take advantage of Arsenal\u2019s recent slip-up.<\/p>\n They recently thrashed reigning champions Liverpool 4-0 to maintain their impressive form. Consequently, a draw might be a good point for the Gunners in Manchester.<\/p>\n Victory for either side would make them the firm favourites to lift the trophy in May.
