Confirmed Line-Ups: Manchester City vs Arsenal (Premier League) | OneFootball

Manchester City take on Arsenal in a title deciding Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday evening.

City head into the fixture having won three successive games against Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, with the gap to the league leaders cut to six points after last weekend’s 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge.

A win on Sunday would reduce that deficit to three points and hand City the initiative heading into the final weeks of the campaign.

Arsenal arrive to the north-west off the back of a shock 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, handing City the boost they needed.

Mikel Arteta‘s side remain six points clear at the summit but know that defeat in Manchester would open the door to the most dramatic of late-season title collapses.

Ruben Dias misses out for City after Guardiola confirmed he remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Josko Gvardiol remains absent as he recovers from surgery on a tibial fracture he sustained in January.

Nico O’Reilly, who went off with a hamstring concern at Stamford Bridge, has been passed fit after Guardiola confirmed he is “fine” in a press conference on Friday.

Both dressing rooms have spoken openly about the magnitude of Sunday’s occasion. Declan Rice insisted Arsenal know “what is required” and declared “bring it on,” while Antoine Semenyo rallied his City teammates to deliver a “knockout blow.” A sold-out Etihad Stadium awaits both sets of players.

Ahead of Sunday’s 16:30 UK kick-off between Manchester City and Arsenal, here are the confirmed line-ups from the Etihad Stadium.
