Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish and Nathan Ake start in Man City predicted line-up vs Arsenal

Pep Guardiola's side secured a comfortable victory over Aston Villa in the top flight on Sunday, with Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez all on the scoresheet in the 3-1 win.

The Blues responded well to their disappointing defeat to Tottenham Hotspur with a convincing win over the Midlands outfit last weekend, but the injury to star striker Erling Haaland came as a blow to Guardiola.

In midfield, Kevin De Bruyne is expected
