Preview

City go after their first win of the season with a convincing 5-0 victory over Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium. Pep will look to continue without a correct #9 and will try to beat his student in Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal have lost both of their opening two league games against Brentford and Chelsea, but bounced back with a 6-0 Carabao Cup win over West Brom in midweek. Something has to give positively for Arteta this match.

Which team will come out in front?

Team News
