For the Gunners, Dani Ceballos is still out. Adding to their injury list is Granit Xhaka who had a concussion and may miss the City match. Rob Holding is out as well while new signing Kieran Tierney dislocated his shoulder and will be missing the action at least till March. Nicolas Pepe bruised his shoulder in the match against West Ham, but is available for Sunday. But Freddie Ljungberg will have to find someone different at right-back position as Hector Bellerin is out with a tight hamstring. Arsenal may have Mustafi back on the bench along with some young players.

Arsenal vs Manchester City Match Preview:

City have faltered in recent weeks and are now 17 points behind leaders Liverpool. They have had some hiccups so far and those have left them behind in the title race. But they will be hoping to turn things around against a shaky Arsenal side. The Gunners have won once in the last 10 matches but they came back to winning ways in their league meeting last time against West Ham. It is the most vulnerable period for the visitors and the Gunners will be hoping to exploit that in home conditions. With Chelsea being 4th and teams like Manchester United and Spurs so close in the points table, the North London side will be desperate to get some sorts of points in the match. They haven’t won against the City side in the last two seasons, and will be aiming to make amends.
