Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League showdown with Manchester City on Sunday.

Arsenal will endeavour to defy the odds and end Manchester City's winning run when they welcome Pep Guardiola's merciless charges to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's men head into this game on the back of a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Benfica in their Europa League first leg, with Bukayo Saka cancelling out Pizzi's penalty on a frustrating night for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners will undoubtedly have one eye on the second leg of their showdown with the Portuguese giants - taking place in Athens next week - but for now, 10th-placed Arsenal will somehow attempt to build on their 4-2 victory over Leeds United in their last Premier League outing.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's match.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: February 21 (vs. Man City)

Kieran Tierney made his return to action on Thursday evening, but Thomas Partey did not travel with the squad as he nurses a hamstring problem. Arteta admitted that the midfielder had not yet returned to team training before the Benfica draw, so it is difficult to see him recovering in time for Sunday.
