Manchester City are preparing to host Arsenal at home in the Premier League this Sunday. The former side suffered a bitter draw in their last game against Inter Milan in the Champions League. Despite creating a handful amount of chances, they failed to bury them and had to settle for just a point.
However, the Citizens have registered four wins in four games in the domestic league so far. They will look to continue their dominance but are set to face stiff competition from the Gunners. The highly anticipated match will be a treat for the fans.
4-2-3-1 Manchester City Predicted Lineup Vs Arsenal
Defence
Ederson made some good saves against Inter Milan. He will have a crucial role to play again against Arsenal this weekend. Josko Gvardiol was the stand-out defender in the last game and should continue as the left-back.
In the rest of the defensive line, Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji are expected to continue. However, Pep Guardiola might be tempted to include Kyle Walker to secure the backline better.
Midfield
Rodri’s comeback was a big boost for the Citizens and his position in the lineup remains unchallenged. While Rico Lewis started the previous game, he failed to impact the game in a big manner. Hence, fans can expect to see Mateo Kovacic walking into the XI as he can hold the play better.
Attack
Manchester City will be irritated with the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who suffered a blow on Wednesday night and will be unavailable for the clash.
To fill his shoes, Phil Foden is likely to start the game with Jack Grealish taking care of the left wing again. Bernardo Silva is to be deployed on the right wing, meaning Savinho has to warm the bench.
Erling Haaland continues to lead the attacking line. Though he couldn’t score against the Italian outfit, he has been in terrific form so far and will be desperate to find the back of the net.
