Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has defended his right to criticise refereeing decisions he does not agree with. Referee Michael Oliver, who last weekend controversially sent off Myles Lewis-Skelly in Arsenal's win at Wolves – a decision which has since been overturned by the Football Association – has not been selected to take charge of the Gunners' Premier League clash against Manchester City on Sunday (2 February).

Arsenal's hopes of winning the Premier League will be severely dented on Sunday, according to a former Three Lions legend. The Gunners will take on Manchester City at the Emirates in the standout match of the weekend.
