Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

Arsenal will be looking to reach the FA Cup final for a record 21st time on Saturday when they take on Manchester City in the semi-finals of the competition.

The Gunners, who have won the tournament on more occasions than any other side (13), will enter the match off the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta's side dispatched Sheffield United in the quarter-finals of this competition last month, meanwhile, and would face either Chelsea or Manchester United in the final should they triumph on Saturday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash.
