Both William Saliba and Granit Xhaka could be key absentees for Mikel Arteta when he leads his side into a key battle with Man City on Wednesday.

Saliba remains sidelined through injury, with there being a genuine feat that the centre back may have played his last game this season.

He could be joined in the stand by Granit Xhaka, who has been struggling with illness this week. The Swiss midfielder will face a late fitness test after dealing with a fever in the past few days, an issue which caused him to miss the draw with Southampton on Friday.

This could lead to some issues in the centre of midfield for the Gunners, with Mohamed Elneny being ruled out for the rest of the season

Arsenal Predicted XI: Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Rob Holding, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli
