Li¥estream: Wa¥ch Arsenal vs Man city|English commentary - we're winning this Gunners

 



Arsenal are not expected to have any fresh injury concerns for their huge Premier League clash with Manchester City on Sunday.


The Gunners took on Atalanta in their Champions League opener in Italy on Thursday night, drawing 0-0, and came through that game unscathed


Asked on Friday morning if he had any fresh injury concerns, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said: “Not really.


“Straight away after the match – recover, sleep, eat well and everybody is looking forward to the match [on Sunday].”


Arteta will be pleased with that as he is already without five first-team players for Sunday’s showdown at the Etihad Stadium.


Kieran Tierney, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all out injured, though Declan Rice is back after serving a one-match suspension in the north London derby win over Tottenham last weekend.


The absence of Odegaard is a particular blow, with Arteta confirming this week that Arsenal will be without their influential captain for “a while” due to an ankle injury suffered on international duty with Norway earlier this month that has now been described as “significant”.


Kai Havertz played in midfield against Atalanta in place of Odegaard and is likely to operate there again on Sunday.


The defence is expected to be unchanged for the fifth game in row after keeping yet another clean sheet in Italy, but Arteta faces a dilemma as to who plays in front of them.


Thomas Partey struggled in the Champions League, giving away a penalty that led to David Raya’s sublime double save, and he was hooked for Jorginho before the hour mark.


Gabriel Jesus similarly had a difficult night and was also substituted before the hour, replaced by Leandro Trossard.


Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli


Doubts: None


Injured: Merino (shoulder), Odegaard (ankle), Tierney (hamstring), Tomiyasu (knee), Zinchenko (calf)


Venue: Etihad Stadium


Referee: Michael Oliver


Arsenal squad from: Neto, Raya; Calafiori, Gabriel, Heaven, Kiwior, Saliba, Timber, White; Havertz, Jorginho, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri, Partey, Rice; Jesus, Martinelli, Saka, Sterling and Trossard

However, the teenager is not expected to make his first-team comeback until the end of next month. Erik ten Hag is also having to cope without Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire (both muscle), Luke Shaw (calf), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Mason Mount (knock) and Toby Collyer (unspecified) due to injury, while Casemiro will be assessed after coming off in Man United’s 2-1 win over Brentford last weekend with an apparent calf issue.

Arsenal v PSG | English commentary - Now L!VE

  Arsenal host Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League this week in a glamour tie at the Emirates. The North Londoners are looking for their first win of the league phase after a goalless draw at Atalanta on matchday one, while PSG are seeking back-to-back wins after a narrow 1-0 win over Girona last time out. Mikel Arteta has hailed the French champions as an ‘unbelievable opponent’, with the Spaniard set to face his former team. Arteta made 53 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals, during a loan spell at PSG during his playing career. The Gunners left it late to beat Leicester in the Premier League at the weekend with two stoppage-time goals seeing the Gunners snatch three points against the Foxes. PSG should pose another tough test for Arteta’s team, with the Ligue 1 leaders unbeaten this season. Luis Enrique’s team have scored 20 goals in their six league games so far this season. Enrique is aiming to join an exclusive group of coaches to have won the Champio
