The Gunners have been superb recently but haven’t played since a 5-0 win over Boxing Day because their game with Wolves on December 28 was postponed.
Their recent form is a huge improvement on their first three Premier League games of the season that brought three defeats in a row, including defeat to today’s opponents.
City beat Brentford 1-0 to extend their lead beyond Chelsea to eight points and look on course to defend their crown this term.
Their form of 10 wins in a row is ominous for the rest of the league.
Arsenal will also be without manager Arteta as the Spaniard tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday afternoon.
