Arsenal, like Manchester City, will be going into Friday night's FA Cup clash looking to prove a point against their nearest Premier League title challengers.
Following the clash, it will be another week until the Gunners are next in action so it is not a necessity for them to rest players. Unlike City, Arsenal have limited options to freshen up their starting line-up without weakening themselves severely and thus MEN Sport expects Mikel Arteta to keep changes to a minimum.
What we know is that former Blues striker Gabriel Jesus and midfielder Mohamed Elneny are both out through injury. With that in mind, here is how the Gunners are expected to line up at the Etihad Stadium.
