Man City vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score and confirmed lineups | Football

Ben White has a torrid day up against Jeremy Doku at Wembley a month ago and with Jurrien Timber still out, Mikel Arteta has once again turned to his young Spaniard at right-back.

Mosquera played the full 90 in that role against Sporting midweek, also featuring off the bench on the right in the second-leg against Bayer Leverkusen.

Today is a much bigger test.

In what is just his fifth start of the season, Kai Havertz gets the nod up front this afternoon.

Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori do not make the squad today. Arteta noted on Friday the turnaround might be a bit tight for his first-choice full-backs and they sit this one out along with Bukayo Saka.

If it ain’t broke… Pep Guardiola sticks with the same XI that eased past Chelsea last week, that means Nico O’Reilly starts at left-back again despite being forced off in that game.

A big call from Mikel Arteta today – Viktor Gyokeres is among the subs with Kai Havertz given the nod up top. The Swede really toiled up front against Sporting CP midweek and the Arsenal boss has seen fit to make the change a few Gunners fans were calling for this week.

Martin Odegaard is also back in the starting XI after his recent knee issue with Noni Madueke passed fit despite going off midweek.

Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo (C), Semenyo, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Marmoush, Nico, Ait-Nouri, Savinho, Foden

Raya, Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Rice, Zubimendi, Eze, Odegaard, Madueke, Havertz

Subs: Kepa, White, Jesus, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Norgaard, Trossard, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman

Ruben Dias is still out today. But Abdukodir Khusanov and Marc Guehi were formidable in victories over Liverpool and Chelsea and will be expected to continue their partnership at the back today.

With so many injury doubts, it is anyone’s guess really. Mikel Arteta could have a real problem on the right if Noni Madueke is not available along with Saka… but it could open the door for Max Dowman to start.

City fans have come prepared.

Nico O’Reilly is available after an injury scare last week. Having scored twice in the Carabao Cup final, the left-back was on the score sheet again against Chelsea last week before a hamstring injury forced him off shortly after.

O’Reilly has shaken off the issue however and is expected to keep his place in the side.

Ruben Dias has not recovered in time from an ankle injury with John Stones also expected to miss out. Josko Gvardiol also remains a long-term absentee.

Mikel Arteta revealed this week his winger is struggling with an Achilles injury. While hopeful it is a matter of ‘days, not weeks’ before he is fit again, the Arsenal boss confirmed on Friday that Saka will not be available this afternoon.

Noni Madueke has served as Saka’s understudy for much of the season but he too is an injury doubt today.

Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori could also miss out today.
