One of the most important matches on the Premier League schedule takes place on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium when Manchester City hosts Arsenal.

In both of the previous two seasons, Mikel Arteta's team came dangerously close to ending City's hold on the league title.

The season before, they led the league for the majority of the campaign but slowed towards the end and finished five points behind City. Last season, they finished two points behind City with the title race going down to the very last day.

Man City vs Arsenal Team News

Man City Team News

Nathan Aké, a defender for City, sustained an injury while playing for the Netherlands internationally. Rodri, who made his first appearance of the season from off the bench in the Premier League triumph against Brentford, might return to the starting lineup.

The Belgium international was pulled off the field during halftime of City's Champions League match against Inter on Wednesday, thus Kevin De Bruyne is doubtful.

After the game, Guardiola discussed his injury, saying, "The doctors told me he wasn't right to play but I was thinking about changing it at half-time anyway."

In De Bruyne's absence, Phil Foden, who has been waiting in the wings, is expected to make his season debut. Foden is 24 years old.

Both De Bruyne and Arsenal skipper Odegaard will be watching on helplessly this weekend, as Arteta finally confirmed the worst-kept secret that the Scandinavian would be out for "a while" with his ankle problem before the Atalanta draw.

Arsenal Team News

Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), and Mikel Merino (shoulder) are all joined by Odegaard in the Arsenal medical bay.

Declan Rice made his comeback from suspension and joined Riccardo Calafiori and Bukayo Saka in the lineup against Atalanta.

Raheem Sterling, a former City player, has hope of making his first Arsenal start at his old haunts because neither Gabriel Jesus nor Martinelli are good enough up front in midweek. However, Leandro Trossard appears to be still higher on the ladder for the time being, so the Englishman should be kept in reserve.

Highlights - Man City vs Arsenal

Man City vs Arsenal

GOAL! Man City 1-2 Arsenal (Gabriel, 45+1')

CITY DIDN'T LEARN THEIR LESSON!

It's carbon copy of the Gabriel chance earlier - but this time he's scored!

Ederson doesn't come, Gabriel rises highest and now he crashes a header into the far corner.

Arsenal were behind after ten minutes, now they're ahead going into six added minutes!

GOAL! Man City 1-1 Arsenal (Calafiori, 22')

WONDER GOAL! WHAT A STRIKE FROM THE ITALIAN!

Wow, this game has shifted. Rodri off, now Arsenal level!

Arsenal take a free-kick quickly just as City were making that substitution. The home players say they're not ready as Martinelli races down the left.

He pulls the ball back for Calafiori, on his first Premier League start, and he curls a glorious effort into the top corner!

City furious, Guardiola kicks the chair in the dugout. Arteta smiling!

GOAL! Man City 1-0 Arsenal (Haaland, 9')

THE NUMBER NINE STRIKES IN MINUTE NINE!

Arsenal were given a warning, they didn't listen.

Savinho skips inside the middle of the pitch and releases Haaland, who is the wrong side of Gabriel.

He's clean through on Raya and there's no heroics from the Arsenal goalkeeper this time.

The City striker pokes home past Raya for his 100th City goal. A reminder he's been there for just over two years.
