Manchester City midfielder Rodri ready for Arsenal showdown

Rodri set his sights on Arsenal after helping Manchester City hit back from a difficult week off the field with a rampant performance on it.

City were rocked last Monday when they were charged with multiple breaches of the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play rules.

That prompted a rallying cry from manager Pep Guardiola and the players duly responded as the champions powered to a 3-1 win over Aston Villa at a raucous Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The result also put City firmly back in the title picture after last week’s setback at Tottenham by cutting Arsenal’s lead at the top to three points.
