Erling Haaland will start against Arsenal this evening after being passed fit to play.
Haaland came off at half-time during Sunday's 3-1 win against Aston Villa after pulling up with what looked like a thigh injury during the opening 45 minutes. Concern over the forward's fitness inevitably looked forward to a potentially season-defining trip to the Emirates, with Pep Guardiola admitting on Tuesday that he did not know whether the Norwegian would be fit.
Such concerns were alleviated, however, when the team news emerged and fans saw Haaland's name on the sheet. The 22-year-old has been passed fit to lead the line in North London with Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish either side of him. Kevin De Bruyne will also start a second consecutive game, following his recent demotion to the bench.
