Full-back looking forward to reunion with former team-mates
Bacary Sagna insists he is happy at Arsenal and admits it is 'strange' to see several of his former team-mates playing for Manchester City.
Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri quit Arsenal for City last summer, while Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor have also made the move from the Emirates Stadium to the Etihad Stadium in recent years.
The Gunners entertain the Premier League title contenders on Sunday and Sagna is looking forward to a reunion with some of his old colleagues.
However, the right-back is not planning to join the exodus from North London and has suggested he would be prepared to agree a new contract if he was offered an extension.

"You know, even when I see Gael play now for City, it is strange but I still see him as an Arsenal player!" the France international told the
Sunday Mirror. "But they all left and there is no problem for me that they did.
"I mean, they had just one year left on their contracts and they wanted to be part of the project at Manchester City.
"That was their choice. Usually, when someone rich buys a club there is no big ethic. But I think it is different there."
He added: "I am very happy here.
"Everyone is so close. Yes, I would be happy to stay even longer but to be honest I don't think that far ahead. If it happens, it happens. I just want to stay part of this Arsenal squad.
"We have a great team, a young team. And the spirit here is great. We have shown that recently with the way we got into the top four when we were so far behind."
