  • PRVW
    With Arsenal eager to prove their title credentials and City determined to maintain momentum, this fixture already feels pivotal in the Premier League season.
  • PRVW
    Rayan Ait-Nouri is another absentee, meaning that youngster Nico O’Reilly is expected to continue on the left side of the visiting defence.
  • PRVW
    Pep Guardiola will again lean heavily on Haaland and Phil Foden, especially with summer recruits Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush unavailable through injury.
  • PRVW
    City, for their part, have been boosted by the possible return of John Stones from his muscle injury.
  • PRVW
    On the flanks, Martinelli and Trossard are competing for a starting role, both buoyed by their goals in Europe.
  • PRVW
    Eberechi Eze’s struggles in midweek could see him drop to the bench, with Arteta likely to turn to other attacking sparks.
  • PRVW
    Mikel Arteta is also sweating over the fitness of captain Martin Odegaard, while Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz face lengthy spells on the sidelines.
  • PRVW
    In terms of injury concerns, Arsenal remain without Bukayo Saka, who continues his recovery, granting Noni Madueke another chance to impress.
  • PRVW
    City, after a hesitant opening spell, have strung together strong results since the international break and are firmly back in title-chasing form.
  • PRVW
    The Gunners currently sit in the top half of the table, though inconsistency has marked their early domestic campaign.
  • PRVW
    Manchester City, meanwhile, eased to a confident home victory over Napoli, with Erling Haaland again leading the charge.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal secured a rousing second-half comeback to defeat Athletic Bilbao away from home, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard both finding the net.
  • PRVW
    Both sides come into this encounter on the back of successful Champions League outings earlier in the week.
