Man City XI vs Arsenal: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League

Omar Marmoush returns to the Manchester City team for their Premier League trip to Arsenal, but Ederson is absent from the squad.

Marmoush was ineligible to face Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday but the January signing will hope to build on an impressive debut against Chelsea last weekend.

Savinho also starts after helping City turn things around against Brugge and being praised by Pep Guardiola for his impact off the bench.

Abdukodir Khusanov is also available again but he struggled against Chelsea so John Stones partners Manuel Akanji in the heart of the City defence.

Guardiola has confirmed he has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game at Emirates Stadium.

Matheus Nunes is set to continue at right-back despite another difficult night against Brugge.

Rodri has made a surprise early return to training but Guardiola has warned the midfielder against rushing back to action following his serious knee injury.
