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

Manchester City are still to address their striker shortage as they prepare to face Arsenal today.

First-choice target Harry Kane would have wanted to be making his debut this weekend but has now confirmed he will not be leaving Tottenham this summer, while City have missed out to rivals Manchester United on a sensational deal for Cristiano Ronaldo.

So, the focal attacking point - if there is one for City - is again up for grabs, with Ferran Torres and Gabriel Jesus both starting against Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola talked up Jesus's effectiveness out wide after the 5-0 thumping of Norwich.

Kevin De Bruyne misses another game as expected, while Phil Foden is also still out. John Stones is on the bench as he continues to work on his fitness.

Manchester City starting XI: Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gundogan (c), Bernardo, Grealish, Torres, Jesus

Subs: Steffen, Stones, Ake, Sterling, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Doyle, Palmer

Today 12.30pm BST, BT Sport

Venue: Etihad Stadium

Referee: Martin Atkinson

Injured: De Bruyne, Foden
