Latest Gunners news, analysis and much more via our dedicated Facebook page<\/a><\/p>\nHere is who football.london predicts will start for Arsenal:<\/p>\n
David Raya<\/p>\n
After earning a man-of-the-match performance in Lisbon, the Spaniard\u2019s form has dropped off a cliff, and his distribution has fallen into question.<\/p>\n
Cristhian Mosquera<\/p>\n
Back into the right-back role, the Spaniard performed well, and despite Ben White getting a week\u2019s rest, the display shown on Wednesday might convince Arteta to stick with Mosquera.<\/p>\n
William Saliba<\/p>\n
Big games are for big players and the Man City press simply gazumped Arsenal in the Cup final and Saliba needs to find a way out.<\/p>\n
Gabriel<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland vs Gabriel is reignited once again but as Arsenal focus on defence, the Brazilian could be useful in being a threat from set-pieces too.<\/p>\n
Piero Hincapie<\/p>\n
A very welcome returner after a short period out, his workrate against Sporting was excellent and he will need to be on it to stop Semenyo.<\/p>\n
Martin Zubimendi<\/p>\n
The Spaniard earned the man of the match on Wednesday, which came at the perfect time to lift the midfielder\u2019s mood and form ahead of this big test.<\/p>\n
Declan Rice<\/p>\n
Despite being ill, the now-captain for the moment played the full game and was again a standout holding down the middle third while Zubimendi pushed forward.<\/p>\n
Eberechi Eze<\/p>\n
Another big welcome return to the team, Eberechi Eze will be massive for Arsenal in this game and has been a big moment player against City before.<\/p>\n
Noni Madueke<\/p>\n
Hoping to recover from his knee issue suffered on Wednesday, there is optimism that he could make it back in time.<\/p>\n
Kai Havertz<\/p>\n
The German just feels like the best option for this game, to provide better hold-up play and links as well over Viktor Gyokeres who struggled against his old side.<\/p>\n
Gabriel Martinelli<\/p>\n
On the break, the Brazilian can be very dangerous but has struggled for form this season in the Premier League and needs to find it here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The predicted Arsenal team to start against Manchester City in the Premier League, in what is a title-deciding…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[256912,4501,1084,187661,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-593275","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-manchester-city-vs-arsenal","9":"tag-mikel-arteta","10":"tag-premier-league","11":"tag-premier-league-title-race","12":"tag-soccer","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=593275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=593275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=593275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=593275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
