City, meanwhile, tumbled out of Europe against Real Madrid. All eyes now turn to Wembley where Arsenal, the Premier League leaders and still in the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple, face City for the first major silverware of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to it a lot.
