Manchester City will endeavour to preserve their perfect start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when they lock horns with title rivals Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Citizens have won each of their first four top-flight games thus far, although they drew a blank in front of goal in the Champions League on Wednesday night as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Inter Milan on home soil.
Arsenal, meanwhile, beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the North London derby last weekend, before playing out a goalless stalemate with Atalanta BC in the Champions League on Thursday.
Ahead of this mouthwatering top-of-the-table Premier League showdown, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news.
