"Arsenal arrive with plenty of confidence after a Champions League win at Athletic Bilbao, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard both coming off the bench to score. Domestically, Mikel Arteta's side sit second in the table behind Liverpool, with three wins from four and an unbeaten run at home that has seen them hit Leeds for five and sweep Nottingham Forest aside 3-0."
"City also head into the clash in good form. After a stuttering start to the season, Pep Guardiola's men have bounced back with a 3-0 Manchester derby triumph and a comfortable Champions League win over Napoli. Erling Haaland looks back to his devastating best, already scoring six this season and netting in each of his last two league appearances against the Gunners."
"Arsenal could shuffle their attacking options after Eberechi Eze's difficult European debut. Both Martinelli and Trossard impressed off the bench in midweek and are pushing for starts on the left flank. On the opposite side, Bukayo Saka is still unavailable, so Noni Madueke is expected to keep his place. Midfield concerns remain with Martin Odegaard a doubt due to a shoulder issue, while Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are long-term absentees with knee injuries."
