Arsenal vs. Manchester City: Confirmed XI

Another cracker to end match week 8 of the premier league as Arsenal takes on Manchester City on home ground in a battle for the soul of the league come end of the season.

It is still early days in the league, but whatever results gained today, can inspire how either side choose to go on with the premier league season; whether with a renewed confidence or with an added inspiration to tweak things to come.

Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City side will go into the game as favorites, even away from home ground that is the Etihad stadium as they face hosts Arsenal at the Emirates.

However Mikel Arteta’s Gunners team go into the tie as not very much the underdogs, but a side with less pressure to prove a point other than to avoid the mistakes of last season, and at most provide a shocker that will announce them as a serious team ready to contend for the league.

Mikel Arteta has never beaten his former boss in the premier league since becoming Arsenal boss, with the former Barcelona manager enjoying an unbeaten run against his former assistant in a run of consecutive games.

Here goes the confirmed lineup for both sides;
