Preview: Arsenal vs Man City, team news, line-ups, tickets & prediction

influential playmaker Kevin de Bruyne as he’s been ruled out for several months with a serious thigh injury. Rodri is also set to miss the trip to Arsenal due to suspension after being sent off against Wolves.

Likely Line-ups

If Saka isn’t fit to start, Eddie Nketiah is likely to come into the Arsenal side while Trossard should keep his place with Martinelli unlikely to be fit. Ben White should be recalled at right-back with Takehiro Tomiyasu making way.

Mateo Kovacic and John Stones are likely to start in midfield in the absence of Rodri. Alvarez could support Erling Haaland in attack with Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish also getting starts for City.

Possible Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Ødegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Trossard.

Possible Man City XI: Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Walker, Kovacic, Stones, Silva, Grealish; Alvarez, Haaland.
