Arsenal take on Manchester City on Wednesday evening in one of the most highly-anticipated Premier League fixtures of the 2022/23 season.
The Gunners currently find themselves top of the pile, three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand. However, considering City's superior goal difference, they will go top if they secure a win at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
Mikel Arteta's side will be desperate to bounce back and end their mini-rut which has seen them draw 1-1 with Brentford, lose 1-0 to Everton and suffer a 1-0 defeat against City in the FA Cup. There is a chance that the Citizens be without their star striker for the trip to the capital, with Erling Haaland suffering a slight knock during Sunday's 3-1 win over Aston Villa.

Right now I don’t know," City manager Pep Guardiola said when asked if the former Borussia Dortmund man will play against the north Londoners. "We will have to see over the next few days."
"We will have to see over the next few days. He got a knock and was uncomfortable so at 3-0 up we didn’t want to take the risk. We will assess him and if he’s not ready we will play someone else. Hopefully he is ready."
But City then took to social media on Monday, hinting that Haaland will be ready to face the Gunners by posting a photo on Twitter of the in-form striker taking part in training. With that being said, football.london has taken a look at the full squad Guardiola is likely to have at his disposal.
