If we can all agree on the fact that neither of these sides can defend, I'm proposing a radical idea. Never mind Wenger out, get Tony Pulis in. If Arsene got TP in as his number two, that soft under belly would soon be hardened up. Pep Guardiola can hire Sam Allardyce too.

Just imagine...

I do feel that these City players have still got an awful lot more to give in this match. 

It might end up 4-4 here. I think I went a bit early with 2-2...

Ospina is OK. Emiliano Martinez can sit back down.

Save! David Ospina gets down well, low to his right to beat away Fernandinho's edge-of-the-box drive. After that, Ospina goes down after a challenge from Nicolas Otamendi. Remember, Arsenal are already without Petr Cech...

Now the Emirates is rocking again, home fans singing their team's name. Challenges are biting in, Arsenal are buzzing, City are shaking.

What a leap that is from Mustafi!

From a City point of view, you wonder why no one is defending that? 

Now, crucially, will Arsenal hold on or will City go into overdrive again? 

My prediction was 2-2 actually.

Alexis Sanchez loses possession then stays down on his haunches - then lazily watches with his hands on his hips and standing still as Shkodran Mustafi does likewise.

Not great body language at all from the Chilean.

This second half has started the same as the first. It's end to end stuff here. 

Laurent Koscielny has an Achilles tendon injury. Gunners fans try to rally behind their team, all while Yaya Toure's presence points to a less open second half. City have made the better start, using the width of the pitch. Great ball from Jesus Navas (yes, really), only for an unmarked Sergio Aguero to head wide. Erm, defenders? Any chance?

Arsenal right to left in this second half, the Emirates now more gloomy overhead. Kevin de Bruyne does well to get down the right, but his pass is behind Sergio Aguero. Arsenal's defending, though, is, erm, uncertain.

Yaya Toure slips alongside Fernandinho in front of the City back four. Fernandinho was playing a lone hand in the first half, like Cnut holding back the tide. Speaking of the Brazilian, he's in the book for a trip on Alexis Sanchez.

Bad, bad news for Arsenal. Laurent Koscielny has been forced off, replaced by Gabriel. Consider this. The last two times Koscielny has had to go off, Arsenal have lost 5-1. 

City have replaced Raheem Sterling with Yaya Toure. One suspects that is tactical.

I kid you not, some Motorhead is playing over the speakers at the Emirates. 'The Game'. It is Wrestlemania tonight...

Some refereeing controversy in the  FA People's Cup semi-finals  catches the Football Focus team's attention - as well as some amazing skill by an under-14 player against some internationals!

The Optimist: To be honest, Alexis Sanchez is too good for this Arsenal team.

I'm very worried about Arsenal through the middle. 

You can see the confidence is low but Man City can just get at us too quickly. 

We used to be a self-motivating dressing room but I just don't see that in this team. 

We have to look at Sanchez - he does not release that ball as quick as he should. He is killing the pace. If we can get the ball in the box quicker, then we can get at them.
