I've found Lawrenson's and Dixon's but ain't got a scooby's where Hansen's is. As he been sacked after his recent misdemeanor?

Lee Dixon's (seems that he still hasn't found the faith):

Manchester City vs Arsenal

Dixon's verdict: City may have won the last three visits of Arsenal but, despite their second position, have not been overly impressive on the pitch and I fancy Arsène Wenger's side to pull off a win tomorrow.

Kick-off: Tomorrow, 4pm (Sky Sports 1; Highlights BBC 2, 10pm

Prediction: Arsenal to win 2-1.

Mark Lawrenson's (predictably predictable):

Man City v Arsenal (1600 BST)

This is going to be a clash of the little magicians in the Arsenal midfield - Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Andrey Arshavin - and Manchester City's powerful players like Yaya Toure, Nigel de Jong and Gareth Barry.

I think City will set themselves up in a similar way to when they played Chelsea, almost as if they are the away team, and they will keep things very tight.

Prediction: 1-1

Guaranteed a City win then!

I posted a comment on Dixon's article. As a so-called (or former) City fan he is remarkably ignorant about us. City may not look 'overly impressive' but we win games, we beat Chelsea and we're more impressive than Arsenal, especially Arsenal away.

Everything is so over-critical about City. I listened to Le Tissier on Soccer Saturday commmenting on Chelsea really labouring to beat Wolves, but nothing is said after. When that is City they all have a right go - 'not a team, not gelled, dont fancy them yet, not at it yet, not contenders'.

So we beat Chelski at home and Arsenal lose to WBA at the Emirates and yet Dixon predicts an away win? He's a City fan right?

Saw article from Dick_son yesterday where he said that our record against arsenal in premier league was poor. Technically correct, but comparing the shite Pearce had to deal with compared to the team over the last few seasons, is like comparing us to Altrincham
