Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester City-Arsenal, the likely lineups

Manchester City-Arsenal, a decisive match for the Premier League title, is scheduled to take place at Etihad Stadium at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.Guardiola and Arteta go head-to-head in the match that can end or totally reopen the English league. The Citizens, who have not lost in the league since last November, are obliged to win to get closer to -4 from the leader: Guardiola’s team also has a game to make up and would put great pressure on the Gunners. Arteta’s men, fresh from qualifying for the Champions League semifinals, complicated their lives by losing resoundingly at home to Bournemouth on the last day, but now they have a chance to close the books once and for all.

Haaland leads City’s attack, which will also be able to count on the imagination of Cherki and Bernardo Silva and the running of Semenyo and Doku. Rodri will be the director in front of the defense. In goal is Donnarumma.

Arsenal is forced to forgo Saka, who is injured. Calafiori, Timber and Odegaard are also at risk. Gyokeres is the first forward, on the line of trequartists are Madueke, Eze, Martinelli.
