The Sky Blues will have the opportunity to move to the top of the Premier League table with a victory, with two points currently separating Pep Guardiola's side and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.

Goals from Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne secured three points for City against Brighton last weekend, while the Blues also ensured top spot in their Champions League group with a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.

Riyad Mahrez missed a second successive penalty in Germany, as City stuttered to consecutive draws in Europe.
