Confirmed Arsenal XI vs Manchester City as Kieran Tierney starts and Pablo Mari returns

Arsenal welcome back Kieran Tierney into the starting line-up for their Premier League match against Manchester City.

The Scotland international has been sidelined with a leg injury over the past few weeks but made a cameo appearance against Benfica in the Europa League on Thursday

Tierney's inclusion is good news for the Gunners who have been forced to play natural right-back Cedric Soares there in recent games.

The other change from the 4-2 win over Leeds sees the reintroduction of Pablo Mari into the starting line-up ahead of David Luiz, whilst Rob Holding starts in place of Gabriel.

Mohamed Elneny partners Granit Xhaka in midfield, with Martin Odegaard, Bukyo Saka, Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang make up a strong attack.

Arsenal starting XI: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Pepe, Aubameyang
