Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger doesn't expect to face a weakened Manchester City after their recent setbacks.
Wenger expects nothing other than a "massive test" of his own squad's credentials.
"They had two disappointments but they will want to respond," the Arsenal boss said.
"Defeats always take a bit of confidence away from you, but let's not speculate on any weakness from their part and make sure on our side we are at our best level.
"We are ready for it physically and mentally.
"We are prepared and will give absolutely everything to win the game because we are in a position where we want to win the game."
