Team news Man City vs Arsenal
Manchester City is in perfect health, although as always, Pep Guardiola has a lot of selection decisions to make.
John Stones and Ruben Diaz returned to form, with Ruben Diaz taking no chances after a long absence. Joao Cancelo has lost his place after a series of poor performances - will he get a chance against the leaders?
Erling Haaland will start but the supporting cast is still being debated. Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish are the obvious choices but Phil Foden could get another chance. Kevin De Bruyne must also defend his place.
Arsenal also has no new worries, with only Gabriel Jesus, Reiss Nelson, and Mohamed Elneny out.
Mikel Arteta has been able to field his strongest line-ups against Tottenham and Manchester United and must stay true to the same players rather than risk losing momentum in the toughest stadiums.
Manchester City vs Arsenal prediction
Arsenal looked in good form after the last-minute win over Manchester United and are full of confidence.
However, United has laid out a rough plan for how to beat the Gunners and Pep Guardiola, as usual, will have his own ideas.
Manchester City was much better against Wolves and Erling Haaland scored his fourth hat-trick of the season so it's too much for the Gunners.
Man City won 2-1 in normal time.
Head-to-head (h2h) history and results.
