Arsene Wenger has revealed how Arsenal are planning to beat Manchester City this weekend.

The Gunners travel to table toppers City on Sunday as they look to continue their unbeaten run - which was extended to five games after they drew with Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Pep Guardiola's City side are yet to lose this season and have only dropped two points at the Etihad this season as they have moved five points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premier League.

But Arsenal boss Wenger has hinted at how he is going to condemn City to their first defeat of the campaign.

"We will try to play our game. We will not hide,” the Arsenal manager said.

“When we go there, we want to defend well but you cannot go there and only be focused on just defending. We want as well to play, have the ball and create dangerous situations. The best way to defend sometimes is to attack.

“When you want to play football, you have to accept the risk and you have to play. If you want to play football, when you walk out on the pitch you have to accept the gamble and the risk. It is part of the game.

“After, you have to rate the risk. Is it a bigger risk only to defend than to attack if a team is very strong in attack? Maybe it is a bigger risk only to defend.”
