Man City unveil new look Etihad Stadium with seat coverings ahead of Arsenal clash

Manchester City have unveiled their new look Etihad Stadium ahead of their return to Premier League action against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The game will be the first Premier League encounter to be played since coronavirus caused the season to be suspended exactly 100 days ago.

In a video posted on the champions' official Twitter account, City's ground has been reimagined with huge tarpaulins covering what would otherwise have been empty seats.

An enormous 'tifo' style display reading 'CITY' in club colours - white on sky blue - covers the entire top two sections of one side of the stadium.

The Manchester City crest and a club motto 'We're not really here' adorn the lower tier, alongside various brand sponsors.

Featuring a soundtrack which could easily be mistaken for an Oasis song, the drone footage pans around the cavernous stadium.

On the middle tier of the stadium sees various motifs, one says 'We see things they'll never see', which are lyrics written by famous City fan Noel Gallagher from Oasis' 90s hit entitled 'Live Forever'.

Anything other than a win for Pep Guardiola's side against Arsenal will see their already minimal hopes of overhauling runaway leaders Liverpool virtually extinguished.
