Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they square off against Arsenal.

After an opening-weekend defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, City responded in clinical fashion as they posted a 5-0 victory over Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium.

While Pep Guardiola has minimal fitness problems ahead of a second successive home fixture, two of his star men are still looking to shake off lingering issues.

Phil Foden sustained a foot injury en route to the Euro 2020 final with England, and Guardiola affirmed earlier this month that the attacker would be out for a "while", effectively ruling him out of this game.

Carrying a niggling ankle issue, the decision was made to keep Kevin De Bruyne on the sidelines for the game with Norwich. Despite having a week longer to recover, Guardiola has revealed that the Belgian will remain absent from his squad.

City have no players suspended for this match.
