Arsenal vs Manchester City: Preview

Unbeaten in the league since the start of November, Arsenal have expertly navigated a difficult period where there have been injuries to key players. Now, with a place in the Champions League knockout stages secured and with players returning to fitness, the Gunners will be looking to kick on as they bid to chase down runaway leaders Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta’s side have had to grind out results of late but with Martin Odegaard back to full fitness, and rising star Ethan Nwaneri expertly deputising for the injured Buakyo Saka, Arsenal should have more cutting edge. They’ll certainly need it against a City side who have had no problems scoring goals in recent weeks.

Pep Guardiola’s charges may be down in fourth place and seemingly out of the title race, but they have scored 11 goals in their last three league games. They still look far to open in midfield but in attack, they have been sharp, with new signing Omar Marmoush looking particularly impressive on his debut last week.

Can the Gunners keep pace with Liverpool? Or will City dent their title ambitions? Tune in to find out and read on for all the information on how to watch Arsenal vs Man City live streams wherever you are in the world.

Arsenal vs Manchester City: Team news

Mikel Arteta has made just one change to the Arsenal side that beat Wolves last weekend as captain Martin Odegaard replaces Ethan Nwaneri who drops to the bench.

With injuries to key players in attacking positions, Arteta puts his faith in the attacking trio of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Rice, Partey, Odegaard, Trossard, Havertz, Martinelli.

Subs: Neto, Tierney, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Merino, Sterling, Calafiori, Nwaneri

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola makes three changes to the side that overcame Chelsea last week. Stefan Ortega replaces Ederson in goal, while John Stones comes in to replace new arrival Abdukodir Khusanov in defence.

The other change comes in midfield where Savinho starts in place of Ilkay Gundogan who drops to the bench. Omar Marmoush is also handed another opportunity to impress after excelling on his debut last week.

Manchester City XI: Ortega, Nunes, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol, Silva, Kovacic, Savinho, Foden, Haaland, Marmoush.

Subs: Carson, Grealish, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Reis, Khusanov, O'Reilly, Lewis, McAtee..
