Arsenal can make a real statement by securing a positive result when we welcome Manchester City to the Emirates this afternoon.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starts in the Arsenal attack after being on the bench in midweek while Lucas Torreira lines-up alongside Matteo Guendouzi in midfield. Granit Xhaka remains out with a concussion that he sustained at West Ham last week.
