Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta is expecting a classic against Arsenal today.

Zaba, who turned 30 on Friday, is wary of the Gunners' attacking threat but believes Manuel Pellegrini's men, including Aguero, will pose plenty of problems for the opposition to ponder as well.

He said: "This is a fixture for people who really love football.

"We need to be solid at the back, and they concede space at the back, and we have Aguero back again, which is very good news for us."
