Arsenal’s first game after the October international break is important.
They will face 2018 and 2019 Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium next weekend and can take eight points away from Pep Guardiola’s side with the late start of the day victory.
Speaking of Spanish, he faced an injury crisis early in the new season, but that seems to be improving before the game against the Gunners.

However, one player who will undoubtedly miss the game is striker Gabriel Jesús.
The Brazilian international took a hit in City’s win over Wolves in his first game of the season and subsequently missed out on matches against Bournemouth, Leicester City, Burnley and Leeds United.
Without the services of Sergio Agüero, Guardiola revealed that Jesus would be out of action for a month.
“We don’t have Sergio, we don’t have Gabriel,” he said. We have liam [Delap]. We have many options. Cole Palmer can also play as a forward. We will see.
“Sergio hasn’t trained yet and Gabriel was injured against the Wolves, so he will be out for a month.”
The good news for Guardiola is that Aguero has returned to training, although the Manchester Evening News has published the latest news on Man City injuries and expected return dates and the Argentine is not ready to return until after the Arsenal game. .
He joins Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko as the three Manchester City players without whom Guardiola will be visiting Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.

As mentioned above, concern about Guardiola’s injuries is waning.

Meanwhile, the City medical team is hopeful that Raheem Sterling is ready to face the Gunners after retiring from the England team with a minor hamstring problem.
