Mikel Arteta's Gunners won three out of four in the Premier League but now face a testing run, with the start of their Europa League campaign sandwiched between games against City, Leicester and Manchester United.

Both sides had chances in a tight first half, but Raheem Sterling's goal separated the sides at the interval - and that proved to be the winner as Pep Guardiola saw off former protege Arteta.
