TEAM NEWS
City make three changes for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Arsenal.
From the side that began last Wednesday’s Champions League victory at home to Club Brugge, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno, Savinho and January signing Omar Marmoush all come into Pep Guardiola‘s starting line-up.
Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne revert to the bench while Ederson misses out this afternoon as he is not fully fit.
It’s Ortega Moreno’s first start since last month’s 2-2 league draw away at Brentford while Marmoush will be making his second City appearance following his recent arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Oscar Bobb remains close to a comeback but hasn’t made today’s matchday squad as he continues his drive to build up match fitness after his long lay-off.
Meanwhile Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Jeremy Doku and Rodri are all sidelined through injury.

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

PREVIOUS MEETING
Our last trip to the Emirates came in October 2023 in the league, where Gabriel Martinelli’s late deflected strike gave the hosts a slender 1-0 victory.
Our last win there came in February earlier that same year, with Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland all on target to help City leap into top spot in the league table.
We’ve faced the Gunners twice at the Etihad Stadium since then, with the matches ending in 0-0 and 2-2 draws.
LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend, City picked up an impressive 3-1 home victory over top four rivals Chelsea, with Josko Gvardiol, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden all scoring.
In midweek, we secured progression into the UEFA Champions League play-off round with a 3-1 comeback victory over Club Brugge at the Etihad Stadium.
As for Mikel Arteta’s side, they fought hard with ten men to beat Wolves 1-0 at Molineux last weekend, with Riccardo Calafiori getting the goal to secure the points.
They were also in Champions League action in midweek, earning a 2-1 victory away to Girona to cruise automatically into the last-16 of the tournament.
