Team News

Man City
Arsenal
  • Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb miss the visit of Arsenal on Sunday.
  • Kevin De Bruyne was forced off in the 0-0 draw with Inter in midweek and will be assessed.
  • Phil Foden or Ilkay Gundogan will deputise for the Belgian if he doesn't recover here.
  • Declan Rice will return to the starting XI having served his ban against Tottenham last weekend.
  • Martin Odegaard will be out for a while, which is a blow for Arsenal.
  • He is joined by Mikel Merino, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the sidelines.

Prediction

  • Manchester City are the only side in the top four tiers of English football to have maintained a 100% start to the season. While they drew a blank against Inter, they have won their last 13 league matches, which bodes well for Sunday's visit of Arsenal.
  • The Gunners claimed all the spoils in a backs-to-the-wall display at Tottenham last week and held out for a point against Atalanta on Thursday night. Arsenal don't have the best record at the Etihad Stadium, though they did manage a 0-0 draw with City here last season.
  • While City were unable to break Inter down on Wednesday night, they should feel confident of making it five league wins on the spin on Sunday afternoon.
