The draw at the Emirates saw goals from Manchester City's David Silva in the 18th minute and Flamini's equaliser in the 53rd minute. The game, by no means a classic, saw Arsenal finish stronger and seemingly more energetic than Man City, who were far from their passing, interlinking best.
The most exciting thing about this game, which was certainly not a heavyweight classic, was the opportunity handed to Liverpool, who play Spurs tomorrow in the cauldron of Anfield. Liverpool lie in second behind the leaders Chelsea and a win tomorrow will take them to the top of the table. Brendan Rodger's transformation of Liverpool has been incredible and way ahead of the 'five year plan.' Can he really restore Liverpool to title winners after so many years?
They are certainly playing the most exciting attacking football, with the enthusiastically-toothed Suarez and the curious dancer Sturridge forming the best double act since Cole and Yorke, Shearer and Sutton, or Lineker and Beardsley.
The neutral can only hope Liverpool keep up the pressure tomorrow with a win over Tottenham, to make the title run in incredibly exciting.
