Wenger expecting more from team

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has warned his side cannot afford to play within themselves again when they return to Manchester looking to extend their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League with victory at the Etihad Stadium.

The Gunners can take advantage of the lunchtime kick-off to move eight points clear, and would be nine ahead of Manchester City, if they can overcome Manuel Pellegrini’s men, who are on the back of a morale-boosting Champions League victory away to Bayern Munich.
