Manchester, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Arsenal will continue its pursuit of a top-four finish on Sunday when the club heads to the Etihad for a monumental clash with Manchester City. The Gunners arrive at the weekend in fifth place with 36 points, just one point off the pace of fourth-place Manchester United and three points back of third-place Southampton. A convincing 3-0 home defeat of Stoke City on Sunday was Arsenals third Premier League win in four outings, but it was the utter dominance of the match that has fans believing that Arsene Wengers men can make a late charge for a Champions League spot. Sundays meeting with City should provide them with a stern test of their credentials as the Gunners have not fared well away from the Emirates, dropping four of their 11 road contests this term. City, meanwhile, enters the weekend unbeaten in its last 12 league matches, bringing the club to second place in the table with 47 points. But while the Citizens have managed to collect points regularly over the last couple months, their Achilles heel has been their penchant for conceding untimely goals. Manuel Pellegrinis side enjoyed a two-goal lead at the Etihad against lowly Burnley on Dec. 28 before second-half strikes from George Boyd and Ashley Barnes saw the hosts drop two points. They squandered another two-goal cushion on Jan. 1 when Jack Rodwell and Adam Johnson scored in quick succession to level the score for Sunderland, but Frank Lampard managed to bail the Citizens out with a 73rd-minute winner. And last time out, Fernandinho thought he had given City a certain victory over Everton with a goal in the 74th minute at Goodison Park, but the visitors leaked a goal to Steven Naismith four minutes later to see the two sides split the points. With both clubs boasting a reputation for offensive firepower and defensive frailties, there may be plenty of goals on hand at the Etihad on Sunday. Also on Sunday, West Ham United will be out to snap a four-game winless run in league play when it welcomes Hull City to Upton Park, and Mondays lone contest will see Everton go for its first victory since Dec. 15 when it plays host to West Bromwich Albion. Manchester United will look to get back on track on Saturday when the club heads to Loftus Road to take on Queens Park Rangers. United stumbled in a 1-0 home loss to Southampton last time out, and while the Red Devils will have the opportunity to rebound against a struggling QPR side, they have not fared well on the road this season, taking just 12 points from a possible 30. First-place Chelsea will return to action with a trip to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday as the Blues will prepare to face a Swansea City side aiming to sneak into a European spot. Liverpool, meanwhile, has not tasted defeat since a 3-0 thrashing to Manchester United on Dec. 14. The Reds will be seeking a fourth Premier League win in five outings on Saturday when they travel to Aston Villa. Newcastle put up a good fight against Chelsea last time out but came away from Stamford Bridge empty-handed. The Magpies will hope to build off that strong showing on Saturday when they welcome surging Southampton to St. James Park. Also on Saturday, Sunderland will travel to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham, Leicester City will host Stoke City at the KP Stadium and Crystal Palace will take on Burnley at Turf Moor.

MALMO, Sweden -- Anthony Mantha looked more relieved than jubilant after his three goals helped Canada start the world junior championship with a victory. It may be because there had been doubts the Longueuil, Que., native would make the team -- despite lighting up the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League this season -- because of his questionable defensive play. No one doubted his ability to put the puck in the net, as Mantha demonstrated with a hat trick in Canadas 7-2 win over Germany on Thursday. "Its a great feeling," the lanky, six-foot-four right winger said. "For me, personally, I had to get a big game going and I think thats what I did." It helped that Mantha was on a line with perhaps Canadas most dynamic playmaker in Jonathan Drouin, who assisted on all three of his goals -- two on power plays and one at even strength. But Mantha, the grandson of former NHL forward Andre Pronovost, scores wherever he plays. He had 35 goals in only 32 games with the Val dOr Foreurs before joining Team Canada two weeks ago for the run-up to the world juniors. He has 85 goals in 99 games over the last season and a half. Coach Brent Sutter said what clinched his spot was that ability to put the puck in the net, which there is not a lot of on this squad compared to past world junior teams. Sutter hopes a crash course in 200-foot hockey will make the Detroit Red Wings prospect a more complete player as the tournament goes on. "He can score goals, but there are other aspects of his game he needs to continue to work on," said Sutter. "Things Ive talked to him about one on one. "Its simple. Its being a competitor in all three zones and making sure hes responsible in all three zones. Not just for this tournament, but for him to be a good pro. Especially with the organization hell go to in Detroit. Thats what they expect there. You cant just play the offensive side of the puck." Sutter said Mantha wants to learn and feels he is already "a better player now than when he joined the team 11 days ago. That comes from our conversations. He understands that hes not going to get on the ice if hes only going to be a power-play guy." He got a passing grade in two-way play against the Germans, who were overmatched but took advantage of some early Canadian sloppiness to keep the score close through the first 15 minutes of play. Mantha has a remarkably quick release for a big man, and having the clever Drouin laying passes on his stick could be a vital asset as the tournament moves on and the competition gets tougher. He said his grandfather, who scored 109 goals in 556 NHL games from 1957 to 1968 for Montreal, Boston, Detroit and the Minnesota North Stars, was a key influence in his hockey deveelopment.ddddddddddddHe said Pronovost taught him "three key points" to success, but wont reveal them all. "One is work," he offered. But he still went into the teams selection camp two weeks ago in Toronto looking to prove he can do more than score. "For sure I had to make an impression," he said. "Not every player was guaranteed a spot and I had to battle through it. I got great news and now Im trying to carry it on." Drouin has played with Mantha before in an exhibition series and feels that chemistry is developing. "Anthonys a big guy," said the third overall pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning. "Hes hard to play against in the corners and everything. I try to use my hands and speed and I think we complement each other pretty well." The Canadian team got a rousing welcome from the crowd of 1,831 -- nearly all wearing Hockey Canada jerseys -- at the 5,800-seat Isstadion, but still looked nervous as the game began. The Germans got the opening goal off a faceoff in the Canada zone as Dorian Saeftel put a shot through traffic that fooled goalie Jake Paterson only 1:35 into the game. After Josh Anderson and Mantha gave Canada a lead, Janik Moser tied it for Germany after defenceman Adam Pelech whiffed on a clearing attempt. Then Canada took over as Mantha and Bo Horvat got goals before the intermission, Sam Reinhart and Mantha added goals in the second period and Nic Petan finished a play engineered by 16-year-old Conner McDavid in the third. McDavid had two assists, while his linemate Reinhart also had two points. Their line with Horvat could have had several if not for some fine saves by Shawinigan Cataractes goalie Marvin Cupper. "I think I played pretty well," said McDavid. "I missed a whole bunch of chances that Im pretty embarrassed about, but I thought I played an all right game. "That shift where Bo and Reino set me up for a couple of breakaways and the goalie made a couple of good saves -- I was beating myself up pretty good about it, but they laid off me. They were good about it." The shots were 30-24 for Canada, but the game was not nearly that close. A tougher test comes Saturday when Canada plays its second group stage game against the Czech Republic. Notes: Defenceman Griffin Reinhart sat out the first of three games he will miss due to a suspension incurred at last years world juniors. . . Germany has six players from Canadian junior teams, including Prince Albert star Leon Draisaitl who had a mostly quiet game, and another six who play in the U.S. . . Canada has its second youngest team ever at 18 years 10 months 25 days. Only the 1987 team that was disqualified after a brawl with the Soviets was younger.
