Arsenal's defensive resilience will be put to the test in the English Premier League on Sunday against a Manchester City team.

The only goals Arsenal has conceded in five matches this season have been from a penalty in the 2-1 win over Montpellier in the Champions League, and from a goalkeeping error by Wojciech Szczesny in last weekend's 6-1 rout of Southampton.

"We have had a decent start to the season and we have kept the run going so it's important allround, for the whole season,"Steve  Bould said. "We will go to Manchester City with a bit of confidence. It is better being this way, but it is a proper test. It is where we want to be and hopefully we can come away saying we did OK again."

Arsenal will have to learn to adapt to life without number one keeper Wojciech Szczesny who has been ruled out for two to three weeks after suffering an ankle problem. Vito Mannone is expected to be the guy in goal for the Gunners moving forward as he has yet to concede in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, the  defending champion Manchester City were beaten 3-2 by Real Madrid on Tuesday and manager Roberto Mancini wants his men to forget about that road game and make up for it against the on form Arsenal side.

City is expected to be without attacking midfielder Samir Nasri, who picked up a hamstring injury in the week.

However, striker Sergio Aguero is set to return to the starting team after recovering from a knee problem he picked up in the opening week of the season.
