Arsenal travel to the Etihad Stadium for their toughest fixture of the season so far, Man City vs Arsenal. In the reverse fixture, Mikel Arteta's men grabbed a late win, courtesy of a Gabriel Martinelli strike in the closing moments. With that said, will the goal-scorer from the start of the season feature in today's predicted Arsenal lineup vs Man City?
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Man City
GK: David Raya - The Spaniard is at the top of Mikel Arteta's hierarchy and there's some clear distance between him and Aaron Ramsdale now. Following on from his heroics in the Champions League, Raya would love to keep another clean sheet against Man City.
RB: Ben White - Ben White has been the talk of the town in the international break. Not just because he signed a contract extension either, but because he snubbed Gareth Southgate's advances.
CB: William Saliba - Saliba was in action with France on international duty. This is a surprise considering Deschamps seems to have a vendetta against him. Still, he escapted injury free and he is in line to start this important match.
CB: Gabriel - Gabriel has been Arsenal's best defender so far this season. The colossal man-mountain will hope for a positive battle against Erling Haaland.
LB: Jakub Kiwior - Kiwior was involved in the international break as Poland secured qualification. As a standout defender in 2024, he will get the nod ahead of Zinchenko.
