Arsenal news as the Gunners take on Manchester City looking to go top of the Premier League

Arsenal travel to the North West on Sunday as they face Premier League champions Manchester City. For the last two seasons, these two clubs have battled it out at the top-flight summit with Pep Guardiola's side eclipsing the Gunners on both occasions.

Mikel Arteta, who played for City and was also on the former Barcelona head coach's backroom staff, is looking to get bragging rights over his fellow countryman. Sunday's trip to the Etihad Stadium is an early season title showdown in the Premier League with Arsenal capable of going top with a win.

It will be a quick turnaround for the Gunners after only earning a point in Bergamo against Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday. City were also held as they were forced to settle for a draw against Inter Milan.

Martin Odegaard will be a notable absentee for Arsenal while City face an anxious wait over the fitness of Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian captain suffered a groin injury on Wednesday and is a doubt for the visit of the North London club.

Here, football.london has the full details on how to watch the match.
