Arsenal face a challenging match against Manchester City with multiple injuries and a red card suspension looming. Key players like Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard are out due to illness, while left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly received a straight red card and could miss the game. Meanwhile, Manchester City are preparing for the clash after a victory against Chelsea and a focus on their Champions League campaign.
City's Premier League rivals are suffering from an injury crisis with at least six players unavailable, including former City striker Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard, through illness. Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mikel Merino are also out.
"The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge to have been serious foul play," a statement from the Premier League's Match Centre account on X said On if the club will appeal, he added: "Well hopefully we don't need to. If we have to, it's a really good precedent with what happened with Bruno this season. Hopefully.
City, meanwhile, have been given a welcome boost after earning a 3-1 win over Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening. Guardiola's side are next in action at home to Club Brugge before that on Wednesday as they look to avoid elimination from the Champions League.
