Manchester City are preparing for their crucial clash with title rivals Arsenal on Sunday, hoping to leapfrog the Gunners with an important home win. Pep Guardiola's men currently trail Arsenal by one point, and they will be desperate to return from the international break with a statement win.
City now enter the most important part of their season with no more interruptions between now and the end of the season. As they prepare to take on title rivals Arsenal, we have put together a possible starting XI based on the latest injury news and recent outings. Take a look below.
1. GK - Ederson
Guardiola says Ederson is 'much better' and could feature.
2. CB - Nathan Ake
Ake could form part of a back three, given City's tendency to play a back three against teams who play 4-3-3 or variations of it.
3. CB - Manu Akanji
Akanji should be fit. Gvardiol will also compete for a spot.
4. CB - Ruben Dias
Dias is a likely starter at the back.
