Arsenal are travelling to Etihad Stadium tomorrow with fellow Champions League competitors in Southampton, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea picking up maximum points. Despite the mounting pressure, Mesut Ozil was in a mood for some comic interaction with his Facebook followers.

The German international uploaded a picture featuring him sandwiched between Tomas Rosicky and Alexis Sanchez. Apparently, the midfielders are seen laughing at some object lying on the pitch whilst the Chilean looks curiously at the very object.

Arsenal travel to Manchester this weekend looking to avenge the memory of the 6-3 defeat in this fixture last season. On that day, Arsenal’s title challenge was dealt a huge psychological blow as their midfield was repeatedly torn open leaving large gaps for City to get at their back four.

In the reverse fixture this season Arsenal put on one of their better league performances, coming back from a sucker punch Aguero goal to lead through Sanchez and Wilshere.

Arsenal have lately been unsuccessful in their bids to win against the sides that finish above them in Premier League. They conceded seventeen goals away from home at Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City, but Arsene Wenger is now insistent on changing the history as his side travel to Etihad Stadium.

Speaking to the press, the French manager admitted that his side lacked stability last season even though his side were in a better position last season. However, he claimed that their recent stability will help his side this term.

Krystian Bielik was earlier spotted at Heathrow airport ahead of his proposed move to Arsenal and has reportedly undergone a medical at Arsenal. As mentioned by the teenager in an interview with Gazeta Wyborcza, the deal will be made official shortly.

Arsene Wenger told Arsenal.com ahead of his side’s Premier League kickoff against Manchester City that the teenager would directly walk into the Gunners’ first-team. The Frenchman also admitted his admiration for his physique and technical aspects of the game.

Reports from Portugal suggest that Joel Campbell could shortly become the next Arsenal player to leave Emirates Stadium on a short-term deal after Lukas Podolski and Yaya Sanogo left to Inter Milan and Crystal Palace respectively.

Leading Portuguese newspapers such as Record reported on Friday morning that Joel Campbell could be heading to Portugal to join Benfica in the upcoming days. They allotted the entire first page to the World Cup star while most other newspapers, including A Bola and O Jogo ran similar headlines.
