Latest Arsenal vs Man City squad information
Eberechi Eze had an unsatisfactory Champions League debut and will likely have to return to the bench unless coach Arteta can arrange for him to play in midfield.
Martinelli and Trossard – who both had a hand in two goals at San Mamés – are in a fierce battle for a starting spot in the title race.
On the opposite wing, Bukayo Saka is still injured, creating an opportunity for Noni Madueke to continue his impressive performance.
Martin Ødegaard is doubtful of playing due to a recurring shoulder injury, while Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz remain long-term absentees with knee injuries.
On Man City's side, the defense received good news when John Stones could return after a break due to a muscle injury.
In the context that many new players such as Rayan Cherki (muscle injury), Omar Marmoush (knee injury) or Rayan Aït-Nouri are not able to play, City continues to rely on the duo Haaland - Foden to find goals.
Young talent Nico O'Reilly is expected to continue to start on the left flank of the away team's defense.

Latest football commentary on Arsenal vs Man City
After an emotional season and a run to the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal began their European quest at San Mamés on Tuesday night, where they needed two substitutes to secure all three points.
Competition for places has intensified following the £67.5m signing of Crystal Palace icon Eberechi Eze, leaving Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard to prove themselves. Both came on as substitutes in Spain and scored.
Returning to the Premier League after a successful European campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side are second in the table, behind only Arne Slot’s Liverpool, who have won all four of their opening games. Arsenal have won three of their four games, taking nine points and keeping pace with the title race.
At home at Emirates Stadium, the Gunners showed their formidable strength with two big wins: defeating Leeds United 5-0 on August 23 and beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 in early September.
After three consecutive Premier League runners-up finishes, Arsenal fans are increasingly hungry for a major trophy, and their confidence has been boosted by their unbeaten run in their last five games against Manchester City in all competitions.
Man City started the 2025-26 season quite erratically with 2 defeats in the first 3 matches, but since the international break, Pep Guardiola's army has returned to orbit with convincing victories both domestically and in Europe.
In the Manchester derby last weekend, coach Ruben Amorim's MU was completely helpless against the strength of City, when Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scored in a 3-0 victory. Then, the reigning Serie A champions - Napoli - also fell 0-2 to City in the Champions League.
Haaland has scored six goals in five games this season and is looking to extend his scoring streak against Arsenal, having scored in both Premier League meetings with the Gunners last season.
Having won eight consecutive matches against Arsenal from October 2020 to April 2023, Man City have now gone five consecutive matches without a win against Arteta’s men, suggesting that the balance of power at the top of English football may be shifting towards North London.
