Ihenacho, who is sure to start in the encounter as Sergio Aguero continues to serve his four game ban, was once a must sign for the Gunners who were however stopped in 2014 from realising the dream.
Kelechi’s agent Kennedy Ezenwere recently revealed that he blocked the move to Emiratesforeseeing that the Nigerian international would have more playing time at the Etihad than at theEmirates.
“Arsenal were interested in Kelechi but I blocked the move. I picked Manchester City ahead of Arsenal not because of money. I know if he goes to Man City he has a better chance of playing there than Arsenal and I have been proved right,” he enthused.
Despite the failed project the Gunners still reportedly have soft spot for him and would want to wish away his goal against them.
Man City go into Sunday tie fresh from a 2-0 victory over Watford and 4-2 away loss to Leicester City.
