Match Preview
Arsenal face Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The home side are having a difficult season on the domestic front, sitting ninth in the table with just 22 points from 16 games. Additionally, they have just one win in their last eight league matches.
Meanwhile, City have been poor based on their high stands, sitting in third place with 32 points, 17 behind league-leaders Liverpool and seven behind second-place Leicester City. And while they come following a shocking 2-1 loss in the Manchester derby last week, they are still heavily favored to win Sunday.
Projected Lineups
Arsenal: Bernd Leno, Calum Chambers, David Luiz, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Sead Kolasinac, Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi, Nicolas Pepe, Mesut Ozil, Gabriel Martinelli, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Manchester City: Ederson, Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi, Fernandinho, Angelino, Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling
Combined XI
Player Recommendations
Goalkeeper: Ederson (8.5 Cr) is a lock in the Man City starting XI, and his five clean sheets are the third-most in the Premier League this season.
Midfielder: Kevin De Bruyne (10.5 Cr) is widely considered one of the best midfielders in the world, and he comes in with an excellent four goals and nine assists in Premier League play. The absence of Sergio Aguero will put pressure on other attackers to step up, and De Bruyne is surely expected to do

Striker: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (11.5 Cr) is one of the most in-form strikers in Europe despite Arsenal's struggles this season. He leads the team in goals and is second in the Premier League with 11, and manager Freddie Ljungberg will really need the Gabon international to produce a stellar performance against one of the best teams in the world.
Captaincy options: Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kevin De Bruyne
