Manchester City will change its corner flags On the occasion of tonight's decisive match against Arsenal

Tonight Manchester City and Arsenal play for a big slice of the Premier League title at the Etihad Stadium and the Cityzens are doing everything they can to make the stadium as hot as possible. The turf factor will be crucial and Guardiola's side will be looking to exploit it to overhaul the Gunners, who have led the league for most of the season. To mark the occasion, City has decided to swap corner flags as part of an initiative with its sponsor Socios.

Instead of the normal corner flags with the City crest on a blue background, there will be four corner flags chosen by fans at the Etihad Stadium for this match. The change, which will last the full ninety minutes, is the result of an online poll conducted by socios.com, the club's partner. This asked $CITY fan token holders to select the four winning designs, with key figures from the club's players and an iconic goal. The choices were Colin Bell, Vincent Kompany, Kevin de Bruyne and, of course, Sergio Aguero, who scored the 93rd minute goal that won City the Premier League for the first time in the club's history in 2012.
