Michael Oliver will referee Manchester City's Premier League clash with Arsenal this weekend - and that's bad news for the Gunners.

Arsene Wenger's men are already preparing for a tough fixture against the current table-toppers, who have annihilated everyone except Everton in their first ten games of the new season.

Arsenal on the other hand are fifth in the league, having won just six fixtures, losing three and drawing one.

And will need more than just talent to overcome this rampant Citizens side under Pep Guardiola - they're going to need a bit of luck.

But supporters will feel they've already drawn the short straw after it was announced that Oliver will officiate their game.

Now it's nothing to do with the referee's ability, rather Arsenal's embarrassing win rate with him in charge - a lowly 20 per cent - that will have fans feeling nervous.

Arsenal beat Swansea 2-1 last time out in the league after overcoming Championship club Norwich in extra time in the Carabao Cup.

Like the Gunners, Man City have also come out on top in their last two games, beating West Brom 3-2 in the league and Wolves 4-1 on penalties in the cup.
