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

Arsenal will be aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to six points when they face title rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

After drawing 1-1 at home to Brentford on Saturday, the Gunners saw the buffer reduced to just three points on Sunday as the Citizens claimed a comfortable 3-1 win over Aston Villa.

The hosts are only one of two clubs - alongside Newcastle - who are yet to lose a home Premier League game this season, and they will be aiming to keep that record intact against the reigning champions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their top-of-the-table clash with Man City, who will leapfrog the Gunners on goal difference with a win.

Emile Smith Rowe returned from injury for last month's FA Cup win against Oxford United, but he subsequently picked up a thigh problem in training. The winger has now missed the last three games, and while he is fit enough to take part in some form of training, he is not expected to be involved on Wednesday.

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match.
