Confirmed teams: Man City vs Arsenal: Lichtsteiner & Iwobi start, Suarez on the bench
Arsenal face a daunting challenge as we take on defending Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon [4.30pm kick off].
Granit Xhaka is missing while Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Henrikh Mkhitaryan failed late fitness tests so Stephan Lichtsteiner starts at right wing-back with Matteo Guendouzi in midfield.
We go with a back three of Shkodran Mustafi, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal while Alex Iwobi supports Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in attack.
New signing Denis Suarez is on the bench along with Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil.
Here are the teams:
Man City
Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero
Subs: Muric, Danilo, Stones, Delph, Sané, Mahrez, Jesus
Arsenal
Leno, Lichtsteiner, Koscielny, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Torreira, Iwobi, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
