Cancelo and Sterling start - Man City line up fans want to see vs Arsenal

Manchester City fans believe Joao Cancelo should replace Benjamin Mendy at left-back for today's Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola was asked about City's left-back situation during his pre-match press conference as City opted not to sign a new full-back during the summer transfer window despite interest in Ajax star Nicolas Tagliafico.

Mendy did not impress during the draw against Leeds and Cancelo was in fine form for Portugal during the international break, providing an assist for Diogo Jota with an inch-perfect cross.

MEN Sport writers had their say on who should start against the Gunners and asked Blues supporters to do the same.

Pep Guardiola gives injury update on Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus ahead of Arsenal

City fans believe Cancelo deserves the chance to start at left-back, with Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias completing the defence.

Guardiola faces a selection dilemma in midfield after confirming Kevin De Bruyne would miss the match after picking up an injury during Belgium's defeat to England.

City fans want to see Rodri anchor the midfield alongside Fernandinho with Ilkay Gundogan beating Phil Foden to a starting berth.

Sergio Aguero could make his long-awaited return from injury but City supporters don't want to see the Argentine risked after four months on the sidelines.

With Gabriel Jesus also injured, fans want to see Raheem Sterling operate as the central forward flanked by Riyad Mahrez and Ferran Torres.

Manchester City fans' XI vs Arsenal: Ederson; Walker, Laporte, Dias, Cancelo; Rodri, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Mahrez, Sterling, Torres.
