Arsenal and Manchester City have named their teams for Sunday’s huge Premier League showdown at the Emirates.
The Gunners have been boosted by the return of William Saliba from injury, with the Frenchman recalled at centre-back alongside Gabriel, who captains the side in the absence of the injured Martin Odegaard. Saliba has not featured since picking up an issue in the defeat at Liverpool on August 31st.
Leandro Trossard also starts after impressing against Athletic Bilbao off the bench in midweek. The Belgian replaces Eberechi Eze in the starting side. Viktor Gyokeres, who scored a hat-trick against Manchester City for Sporting Lisbon last season, leads the line.
Manchester City name an unchanged team from the side that beat Napoli in the Champions League in midweek. Gianluigi Donnarumma again starts in goal, with Nico O’Reilly and Abdukodir Khusanov retaining their places at full-back. Erling Haaland, who has scored five times already in the Premier League this season, spearheads the attack.
Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Merino; Madueke, Trossard, Gyokeres.
Manchester City XI: Donnarumma; Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Rodri, Reijnders, Foden; Bernardo, Haaland, Doku.
