Arsenal supporters have encouraged Mikel Arteta to hand Jakub Kiwior his first start in the Premier League against Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side will welcome the Gunners to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening as the Premier League title race intensifies.
The north Londoners head into the clash five points clear of the reigning champions, who have two crucial games in hand. A win for Arsenal will provide them with plenty of breathing room, while a victory for City will deliver a fatal blow to their rival's hopes of winning the competition.
Since Rob Holding has been tasked with shouldering the duties of William Saliba, Arsenal have struggled at the back and dropped potentially title-defining points. The Gunners have drawn each of their previous three games, surrendering a pair of two-goal leads against Liverpool and West Ham before going two-nil down inside a quarter of an hour against Southampton.
