Southampton and former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott believes that the Gunners are way better than Manchester City and they should be confident ahead of Wednesday's trip to the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City's away Premier League trip to Everton has been selected for Sky Sports TV coverage.
Originally, the Blues were set to face Sean Dyche's men on Saturday, May 13 at 3pm. However, Sky have announced that the fixture has been chosen to be broadcast live on Sunday, May 14 at 2pm.
Despite the change announced today, the new kick-off time and date is not set in stone. Should City qualify for the Champions League semi-finals and the tie is set for the following Tuesday, Pep Guardiola's team will not be able to face the Toffees on May 14.

The reverse fixture between City and Everton will have wider ramifications on both the Premier League title race and the relegation battle. As things stand, the Blues sit eight points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, the Merseyside club are 16th but are only above the drop zone due to the benefit of having a better goal difference than those below them. The last time these two teams met, City would end up coming away frustrated on New Year's Eve.
Erling Haaland had given Guardiola's side the lead at the Etihad in the first half but despite their dominance, City could not break down Frank Lampard's resolute team further. That would come back to haunt them in the second 45 as Demarai Gray scored a brilliant strike to ensure the points were shared.
City should have a greater understanding of whether the Everton game will be played on Sunday or not following Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg at home to Bayern Munich.
