Ederson
Had to be lively in the opening minute, but after that it was all about secure handling - and a dodgy slice! 7
Kyle Walker
Stayed on top of Martinelli with a disciplined performance and added much-needed pace to the City defence. 7
Fernandinho
Defended admirably against quick opponents, and still imperiously creative, providing the pass which brought the first goal. 8
Nicolas Otamendi
Struggled in the first attack, but recovered well and did some sterling defensive work in and around the box. 7
Benjamin Mendy
Couple of sloppy moments, but the old Mendy was also on show here with some adventurous attacking and robust defending. 7
Rodri
Gave City a solid anchor, an ensured they maintained midfield control for most of the game - his short passing game is terrific. 8
Ilkay Gundogan
So good in games like this, knocking the ball around, keeping possession and dragging opponents out of position. 8
Phil Foden
Had a hand in two of the goals and was bright enough, but hooked when Arsenal were threatening to get back in it. 7
Kevin De Bruyne
Denied a hat-trick to remember by a stunning save, and teed up Sterling for his goal - and he drove City forward time and time again. 10
Gabriel Jesus
Denied a goal by Leno's smothering save, but he did brilliantly to assist De Bruyne for the opener and worked hard as a sole front-runner. 7
Raheem Sterling
Now has 16 for the season but he was dominated by Kolasinac when on the right. Switched left and was more dangerous. 6
Subs
Bernardo Silva
(for Foden 56) Pep's game-killer. 7
Riyad Mahrez
(for Gundogan 70) went through motions. 6
Aleks Zinchenko
(for Mendy 85) A late cameo.
Not used: Bravo, Cancelo, Garcia, Angelino.
