Comments and predictions for Man City vs Arsenal: Bloody battle

Latest Man City vs Arsenal squad information

Both teams will be without key creators in Sunday's big game between Man City and Arsenal. Man City are without Kevin De Bruyne due to a groin injury and while Guardiola has not ruled him out, he does not want to take any chances with Phil Foden available. Foden will make his first start of the season while Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb are also nursing injuries.

For Arsenal, captain Odegaard will miss out with an ankle injury, joining the likes of Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney who are recovering. Riccardo Calafiori and Bukayo Saka have recovered in time to play, along with Declan Rice returning from suspension.

Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli failed to score in midweek, opening the door for Raheem Sterling to make his Arsenal debut at the Etihad, but Leandro Trossard is likely to be preferred.

Latest Man City vs Arsenal expected lineup

Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Rodri; Savinho, Silva, Foden; Haaland

Arsenal:

Latest Man City vs Arsenal football review

More than 12 months ago, Rodri helped Man City win the Champions League, but in the recent goalless draw with Inter Milan, neither he nor Erling Haaland could score.

Although Man City maintained their 100% Premier League record thanks to Haaland's comeback against Brentford, they were held to a draw by Inter, ending their perfect start to the season. The draw was not only a reflection of their lack of goals, but also of Inter's defensive resilience, especially in aerial duels, where Ilkay Gundogan missed a crucial chance.

Meanwhile, Arsenal also drew 0-0 with Atalanta, thanks to an excellent performance from goalkeeper David Raya, who successfully saved a penalty and many other dangerous situations. Despite the absence of captain Odegaard, Arsenal still maintained second place in the rankings thanks to solid performances from the defense and their ability to control the game.

The trip to the Etihad promises to be a big test for both teams. Arsenal have the potential to make history with their impressive away run, but they have not won at the Etihad since Arsene Wenger. If there is one bright spot in this game, it is the solidity of Arsenal's defence, which is currently considered one of the best in the world.

Solid defensive coordination and good cover will be key to limiting the attacking prowess of Haaland and co. Given the poor form of both teams recently and the absence of De Bruyne and Odegaard, a 0-0 draw looks the most likely scenario for Sunday's clash, but one cannot rule out the possibility of a moment of brilliance from one player changing the outcome of the game.
