City currently sit top of the table following a brilliant start to the season, having won all four of their games thus far.

Still, they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday night and could be without star playmaker Kevin De Bruyne after he was taken off following a knock.

Defeat to Arsenal, who took four points off Pep Guardiola’s side last year, would see them cede top spot – with the Gunners reaching the summit.

Mikel Arteta’s side battled through adversity last week to claim a vital 1-0 win at bitter rivals Tottenham, while they followed that up with a 0-0 Champions League draw at Atalanta.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Man City vs Arsenal team news

Guardiola revealed City’s medical staff confirmed De Bruyne could not play the second-half against Inter, so the Belgian has to be considered a doubt.

Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake, meanwhile, are definitely out for the champions.

Arsenal will be without Martin Odegaard for an extended period of time after scans revealed the midfielder had suffered relatively significant ankle ligament damage. Declan Rice is back from suspension, while Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori were able to feature on Thursday.
