Arsenal vs Manchester City Lineups: The Gooners welcome the Premier League champions to the Emirate Stadium on Sunday in a tough Premier League contest.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Team News

After visibly struggling in the matches against Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur, many raised eyebrows at Arteta’s choice to play Saka in Tuesday’s game.

This decision seemed to backfire when the young player, just 22, faced a hamstring problem early in the match.

As of now, there hasn’t been a definitive update on Saka’s condition.

However, he is part of Gareth Southgate’s recent England line-up, and Arteta hinted at the possibility of him playing.

Whether this is a strategic move on Arteta’s part is still up for debate.

Arsenal fans received a boost in spirits when Rodri was handed a three-game suspension for a tussle with Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White.

He is set to serve his last suspension game at the Emirates. Furthermore, Kevin De Bruyne, often a significant problem for the Gunners, will be out of Sunday’s vital match due to a significant hamstring injury.

John Stones, though having made the bench in Europe after recovering from a hip injury, won’t be playing either.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Prediction

Facing a Manchester City team without their midfield powerhouses, Rodri and De Bruyne, would seem like an advantageous situation for Arsenal.

However, with Saka’s probable absence, Arsenal fans might approach the Emirates with hope rather than confidence.

We say: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester City
