Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.

• Full Time Full Time: Arsenal 2-0 Man City: That'll be that. Very, very comfortable victory for the Gunners who move six points clear of Aston Villa in fifth place. Returning duo of Adebayor and Fabregas combined twice to seal the points early in either half leaving City without an away win since August.

• 90

  City have seen quite a bit of the ball in these closing stages but it's far too little too late.

• 90

  Elano beats Clichy and unleashes a fine effort from the edge of the box. Almunia, however, is equal to it.

• 88

  Dan has spotted Theo in the dug-out with an ice-pack on his knee. How important will he be in Villarreal? Let us know arsenalstudio@googlemail.com

• 85

  Ramsey has a pop from 20 yards but his drive is wayward

• 85

  After this kind of victory, the boys will be full of confidence for Tuesday's trip to Spain. What do you think? let us know on arsenalstudio@googlemail.com

• 84

  This is all Arsenal, completely one-way traffic at the moment.

• 83

  Bendtner is released by Eboue but the Dane gets his left-foot strike all wrong and it skews eight yards wide of the near post.

• 82

  Easily cleared by City.

• 80

  Arshavin's corner is nudged behind by Dunne for another one...

• 80

  For all you racing fans out there, 100/1 outsider Mon Mome has won the Grand National - the longest price winner since 1967!

• 79

  Song's vicious strike is deflected behind for a corner. Arshavin to swing it in...

• 77

  Substitution Yes there is that change. Fabregas receives a standing ovation as he makes way for Ramsey. See you in Villarreal Cesc.

• 76

  It looks as though Aaron Ramsey will get a run-out today - Haysie expects him to replace Fabregas

• 75

  Substitution Hughes makes his final change of the afternoon. Robinho makes way for young striker Daniel Sturridge.

• 74

  Eboue is teed up by Sagna's pull back but the all-action midfielder blazes well over the crossbar

• 73

  Remember to keep those emails coming in to arsenalstudio@googlemail.com

• 70

  Substitution and Emmanuel Eboue comes on for Theo Walcott

• 70

  Substitution there are those changes. Nicklas Bendtner replaces two-goal Emmanuel Adebayor...

• 69

  Haysie thinks that, with the points looking secure, it might be time for the boss to make some changes

• 68

  Walcott stings the hands of Given with a rising effort from the edge of the box. Good strike

• 67

  Dunne clears off the line when it looks certain that Walcott will tuck home from a yard out.

• 66

  The pace has dropped a little here, much like it did in the first half

• 62

  Haysie thinks that City's lack of height in attack has restricted them this afternoon. I think Robinho and Bellamy combined would only reach Ade's shoulder.

• 60

  Dan has noted that both Song and Sagna are limping out there... we'll keep you updated with their movements, rest assured.

• 53

  This second half has mirrored the first - Arsenal look very comfortable after an early goal.

• 53

  Once again Fabregas feeds Adebayor but the low strike is held by Given.

• 52

  Fabregas swings a corner right onto Song's head but the Cameroonian's effort flashes a yard over.

  Of course the Togolese is on a hat-trick now! What a return that would be.

• 49

  GOAL! - Emmanuel Adebayor 2 : 0 Goal! Arsenal 2-0 City: Once again Fabregas provides for Adebayor who skips past Given before sliding into the empty net. This is what Arsenal have been missing!

• 48

• 46

  Yellow Card De Jong is cautioned for unsporting behaviour

• Kick Off Arsenal get this second half underway

• Half Time Half Time: Arsenal 1-0 Man City: Adebayor's early header is the difference in an entertaining, and rather open, first half. City have threatened in bursts but Arsenal look like they've got at least one more upward gear shift in them if needed.

• 45

  Arshavin tries his luck once again but Given gets down brilliantly to his left-hand side.

• 45

  Three minutes of added time to be played

• 45

  Yellow Card Walcott is caught once again by Zabaleta and Webb books the Argentinian.

• 44

  Arshavin responds in kind but he arrows his strike just over the crossbar from the corner of the box.

• 43

  Elano lets fly from range but the low effort flashes a yard wide of Almunia's right-hand post.

• 41

  A mixture of Given and Onuoha manage to clear it for the visitors.

• 41

  Adebayor wins a corner off the legs of Dunne. Looks like Arshavin to take...

• 40

  Robinho balloons a strike well over Almunia's crossbar from 30 yards. City have had their openings today, it must be said.

• 38

  Substitution More injury troubles for Man City with Kompany hobbling off for Elano. That's their second sub of this first half!

• 37

  Bellamy's clipped free-kick falls to Wright-Phillips on the volley just outside the area but his effort flies well over.

• 36

  Yellow Card Toure becomes the first Gunner in the book this afternoon after a foul on Robinho.

• 35

  He's back on his feet currently receiving some magic spray from Colin Lewin on the touchline.

• 34

  Walcott collides with Zabaleta and the England winger has hardly moved since the clash.

• 33

  Superbly punched clear by Given.

• 33

  Arshavin is felled by Richards on the left wing. It looks like the little Russian will take it...

• 31

  Off the post! Fernandes, in acres of space just inside the area, receives a low pass from Wright-Phillips but the Swiss midfielder's wasteful effort strikes the outside of the post. 'How did he miss?' Dan quips.

• 30

  Zabaleta's high cross is plucked out of the air by Almunia.

• 27

  City create their best chance so far. Wright-Phillips drives into the Arsenal half and slides Micah Richards into the clear. However, the right-back's effort is blocked well by Almunia.

• 25

  Walcott's through-ball finds Adebayor in between the two centre-backs but the flag is up. A real let off for City.

• 22

  A quite wonderful slaloming run from Kolo Toure ends with the Ivorian slamming a low shot straight at Given.

• 20

  Yellow Card Richard Dunne catches Denilson very late and Howard Webb brandishes his yellow card for the first time today.

• 17

  Arsenal continue to probe but with no further chances to report. It's very comfortable for the home side at the moment.

• 16

  Substitution Mark Hughes is forced to reshuffle because of an injury to Bridge. Gelson Fernandes comes on for the England left back.

• 15

  Wright-Phillips' fizzing cross is deflected goalwards by Clichy. Almunia has to readjust brilliantly to keep it out at the front post.

• 15

  Taken short to Fabregas but his cross is headed clear by Onuoha.

• 14

  Wayne Bridge clears the ball behind for an Arsenal corner...

• 12

  On reflection of that goal Dan thinks it's 'amazing' how easy that it was for Adebayor, there was no marking.

• 10

  Walcott is clattered by Kompany and he seems to be moving rather gingerly.

• 8

  GOAL! - Emmanuel Adebayor 1 : 0 Goal! Arsenal 1-0 Man City: The two returners combine! Fabregas floats in a teasing delivery and Adebayor, who had drifted from his marker, doesn't even have to jump to steer his header past Given. 'Looked like a very easy goal,' says Haysie.

• 8

  Sagna is clattered by Robinho right by City's corner flag. Fabregas to take this in a very promising position...

• 5

  Brief attack from Manchester City after some incisive running from Bellamy. the ball breaks to De Jong 25 yards from goal but his well-struck shot is stopped by Almunia.

• 2

  The Gunners have started relatively brightly under the glorious spring sunshine here.

• 1

  Man City, in their traditional sky blue kit, get us underway today.

• Haysie recons that Arsene Wenger might choose to let Fabregas sit in behind Adebayor with Arshavin and Walcott occupying the flanks. It will certainly be an interesting one in the midfield.

• Not long until we get underway here this afternoon, remember to keep those emails coming in for Dan and Haysie.

• Man City Team News: Despite only returning to the country yesterday afternoon, Robinho starts for the visitors in an attacking triumvirate alongside Shaun Wright-Phillips and Craig Bellamy. There is no sign of Stephen Ireland in the squad after he limped out of training on Thursday. That could prove a telling blow for Mark Hughes today.

• Arsenal Team News: Two names on the teamsheet in particular should raise a smile among all Gooners today, with Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor back in action. Cesc looks set to slot in alongside Alex Song in central midfield while Ade could partner Andrey Arshavin in attack. Mikael Silvestre also returns for the Gunners, he is named among the subs.
