Key Men

Manchester City

Both Erling Haaland and Phil Foden will carry most of the goal-scoring workload in the final third. Guardiola will depend on Kevin de Bruyne’s creativity to make a difference in this Premier League game versus the Gunners.

The defensive performance of Gabriel and William Saliba could go a long way in determining the fate of this contest. Both Jorginho and Declan Rice would have to anchor the midfield well if Arsenal are to come out on top this weekend.
