Mikel Arteta has been told to consider dropping Gabriel Martinelli for Wednesday's clash with Manchester City.
The two title protagonists will square off for the first time in the Premier League this season when they meet at the Emirates. Arsenal have picked up one point from their last two games, meaning a win for Pep Guardiola's side will see them go top, albeit having played a game more.
Arsenal's young squad has captured the imagination this term, surpassing all expectations. Martinelli has been among those to grab the headlines with his performances, but fans haven't seen the best of him for several weeks. Meanwhile, January signing Leandro Trossard came off the bench to score his first goal for the Gunners in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Brentford.
