ARSENAL EXCLUSIVE: Arsene Wenger to decide future after Manchester City clash
Arsene Wenger will decide his Arsenal future after Sunday's game against Man City

Starsport understands Wenger will announce his decision on whether he stays or goes after the clash with Pep Guardiola's men.

A good result at The Emirates would boost Arsenal's top four hopes and is likely to prompt Wenger to announce he will sign a new contract.

But another defeat is likely to pave the way for the Frenchman to announce he will leave at the end of the season.

The Gunners have lost four of their last five league games - their worst run in 21 years under Wenger.

And Wenger knows another setback at home will see the mood among fans turn against him even more.

There have been violent clashes between pro- and anti-Wenger fans in the stands over the last few weeks, most recently during the 5-0 home win over non-league Lincoln in the FA Cup.

A loss against City, combined with a Liverpool win over Everton the day before, would see the Gunners slip nine points off the last Champions League qualification spot.

Even if Everton get a result in the Merseyside derby it adds to the pressure for Wenger and his men as they will face City in seventh place - an unthinkable position at this stage of the season for fans.

Wenger promised a decision earlier this month "very, very soon" but as of yesterday he had still given no clues to his players or staff.

The Gunners trail leaders Chelsea by 19 points and their 3-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge in February was one of the games where different factions of fans were spotted fighting amongst themselves.
