Team news

Arsenal news

Arsenal's midweek match against Wolves was postponed, and preparations for the match were disrupted by manager Mikel Arteta's positive COVID-19 test earlier this week.
After Cedric Soares and Takehiro Tomiyasu recently tested positive for COVID-19, Ben White may have to play right-back once more. Positive tests were also returned by Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Calum Chambers.
Arteta will not consider Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang until after the AFCON, and even then, there are no guarantees he will play again. Sead Kolasinac has sustained an injury.
On Saturday, Arteta must choose between Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli on the left wing. Smith Rowe has recently been pulled from the starting lineup, although he has scored in three consecutive games as a substitute.

Manchester City news

Fernandinho has already played the full 90 minutes twice in three days this week and is unlikely to start here.
Rodri hasn't been totally healthy for Manchester City's previous two games, but Pep Guardiola will be desperate for him to return.
Pep Guardiola hasn't deemed Kyle Walker fit since his red card six games ago, and it's unclear when he'll be re-considered. Oleksandr Zinchenko needs to keep going.
On Wednesday night, Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan, and Riyad Mahrez were all utilized as substitutes and should all start here. After this game, the latter departed for the AFCON.
After being dropped for a few games owing to a lack of discipline off the pitch, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish began against Brentford. Here, the latter will leave the side, and Foden may possibly join him.

Arsenal vs Manchester City prediction

Arsenal has had a full week to prepare for this match, but Mikel Arteta's positive test in midweek has not helped the Gunners' cause. Arsenal has won five games in a row heading into Saturday's encounter, and they are in a much better position than they were in the reverse match in August, when they were beaten 5-0.

Manchester City took advantage of Liverpool's loss to Leicester and Chelsea's draw with Brighton to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table ahead of what could be a pivotal weekend in the title chase. City leads Chelsea by eight points and might lead by as many as eleven points when the two teams meet later this weekend.

City has won ten consecutive Premier League games and is unbeaten away from home in the competition since the season began in August. Arsenal has failed to score in each of their last four home matches against City, but they have looked good going forward recently and should be able to break that streak here.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester City
