Arsenal will be having a sense of deja-vu over half time against Manchester City in what was a topsy-turvy half at the Etihad.
A goal to the good, an Arsenal player already on a yellow card was deemed to have kicked the ball away, forcing the referee to reach for his pocket and hand out a second yellow card, reducing Mikel Arteta’s side to 10 men.
Sound familiar?
This time, it was Leandro Trossard who drew the referee’s ire, and was handed his marching orders.
Jérémy Doku kicked the ball away and delayed a free-kick early in the first half, but didn’t receive a yellow card.

Can Arsenal hold onto all three points this time?
