Fixture: Manchester City vs Arsenal
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 14:15 (UK time)

Manchester City have officially confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to take on Arsenal in a Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.

Boss Pep Guardiola knows that beating the Gunners would mean a 12-point advantage over Arsene Wenger's men after ten league games played.




Manchester City were impressive in midweek Champions League action, winning at Napoli.

In a bid to get the job done against Arsenal, Guardiola picks Ederson in goal, while at the back he opts for John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi. Kevin De Bruyne is handed a start, along with David Silva, while Raheem Sterling is included. Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero also start.
 
If the former Barcelona coach needs to make changes then he has a number of options on the bench to choose from, including Gabriel Jesus and Yaya Toure.
