Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey's form will not be adversely affected by his contract running down, says manager Unai Emery.

Ramsey, 27, looks set to leave next summer after a four-year contract offer was withdrawn by the club.

Asked if that would have an impact on the Welshman, Emery said: "I think not.

"I am sure the best for us and the best for him is to take this opportunity to do the best performance each match. On Saturday he will be helping the team."

A week away from their mouth-watering duel with Liverpool, Manchester City could strike a decisive psychological blow by ensuring they arrive at Anfield above Jurgen Klopp's side in the table.

If the champions beat Brighton, then only a win for the Reds at Stamford Bridge will prevent that occurrence - and with events in west London commencing once this match has concluded, there's even greater incentive for City to ensure there are no unexpected slip ups.

The Seagulls arrive at the Etihad with just two wins since early March but it's ironic that both of them have been against Manchester United, the only league opponents City have succumbed to in their last 21 league matches.

• No player has scored more Premier League goals this season than Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic (5, level with Eden Hazard). Indeed, since the Serbian’s debut for Fulham he’s scored more goals than any other player in English league football (17).

The fact that Watford head into a fixture against Arsenal higher in the table than their opposition for the first time since 1984 says it all about their start to the campaign.

Having beaten Tottenham and pushed Manchester United, they will be full of belief heading to the Emirates, despite only managing one away win in their last 14 attempts.

Arsenal will attempt to record five successive league wins for the first time in more than a year, which tells its own story. It will be important for the Gunners to lay another small building block under Unai Emery for foundations that were never going to be a quick fix.

One thing is already clear in the post Wenger era - it's rarely going to be uneventful.
