As Arsenal prepares to face Manchester City, the teams adjust their lineups due to player fitness. Arsenal sees David Raya return to goal, while City starts Stefen Ortega in place of Ederson. This match comes after a previous encounter where both teams displayed strong performances. With Liverpool currently leading the Premier League, this fixture is particularly significant, as both Arsenal and City aim to close the gap and vie for the title. The air is tense as both sets of fans anticipate a high-stakes game.
Raya's return means Arsenal make a single change from last weekend's win at Wolves, with the fit-again Martin Odegaard in for Ethan Nwaneri.
Pep Guardiola makes three changes to the City team that beat Chelsea 3-1 eight days ago: Ortega for Ederson, John Stones for Abdukodir Khusanov and Savinho for Ilkay Gundogan.
When Arsenal and Manchester City slugged it out at the Etihad in September, it was clear the return fixture had the potential to be a title decider.
Liverpool leads the Premier League by nine points with 15 games remaining and are in a strong position.
