How to watch Arsenal vs Man City? TV channel, live stream, team news and kick-off time

Arsenal are set to welcome Premier League rivals Manchester City to the Emirates Stadium this Sunday, in a match that promises to be a crucial one for both sides. Pep Guardiola's team have had a mixed start to their campaign, with two victories and two defeats leaving them mid-table, alongside the likes of Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

On the other hand, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are sitting pretty in second place - a familiar position for the Gunners - after securing three wins and suffering just one loss, putting them within striking distance of league leaders Liverpool. The two rivals have had numerous clashes over the years, with City often pipping Arsenal to the top-flight title. However, this season is shaping up differently; Arteta currently sits five places above Guardiola, but a victory for City would see them level on points with the Gunners.

The north London outfit are fresh off a comfortable 2-0 win in the Champions League, while City achieved the same result against Napoli during Kevin De Bruyne's return match at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday.

What's the team news for Arsenal vs Man City?

Arsenal are anxiously awaiting updates on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Ben White and captain Martin Odegaard, all of whom were absent from the midweek Champions League victory. Saka has been out of the matchday squad since suffering a hamstring injury during the Leeds United match.

Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz continue to be sidelined for the Gunners, but William Saliba might have a chance to reclaim his starting position from Cristhian Mosquera after recovering from an ankle problem sustained earlier in the season against Liverpool. On the other hand, City might see the return of John Stones, who trained ahead of their 2-0 triumph over Napoli but didn't make the squad.

Rodri was taken off early in the Napoli match without any injury worries, suggesting he'll be ready and rested for the trip to Arsenal. Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush are both sidelined, along with midfielder Mateo Kovacic who continues to recover from a heel surgery.
