Arsenal welcome the defending Premier league champions, Manchester City. An early season test for the two sides, with both teams eager to win and have an upper hand on the other.
With Arsenal undefeated, and the Citizens looking to bounce from their early season blip, neither side would be willing to give much room. Deadline day signing and England's goalscorer, Danny Welbeck would be in the spotlight as he looks set to make his debut for Arsenal. As for Manchester City, the French international defender Mangala who signed from Porto this summer, looks to have regained fitness and could well start along side Captain, Kompany.
Team News:
Arsenal:
Wenger and his men look determined to keep the early season form going, with latest signing Danny Welbeck, likely to be the man assigned to do the job. Mesut Ozil didn't feature for Germany this week and Aaron Ramsey twisted his ankle in the game against Andorra. But, according to the Arsenal Coach the injury isn't that bad as it was believed to be. There are 50% chances of the midfielder starting the game. In other news club captain Mikel Arteta is back in full training as is Ozil and both will be available for selection.
Probable Xl:
Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Arteta, Wilshere, Sanchez, Ozil, Cazorla; Welbeck.
Manchester City:
Stevan Jovetic is the latest striker casualty for the Blue half of Manchester. Aguero struggling for fitness and Negredo loaned, the only recognized striker that Manuel has at the moment is Dzeko. Jovetic's injury was termed as a minor one, but it is to be seen if the forward could make the pitch. Fernando is fit and will start alongside Yaya. Mangala could make his debut at the Emirates, but will the Chilean be willing to take such a big risk of starting the French man in such big game?.
Probable Xl:
Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Yaya, Navas, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko.
