Arsenal have gotten off to a nightmare start in the Premier League this season.

The Gunners are yet to score a goal, let alone win a game, and things aren’t about to get any easier for the north London outfit.

Indeed, just when Arsenal need a bit of respite they’re faced with the unenviable task of heading to the Etihad to face arguably the best team in England, Manchester City.

Arsenal are going to struggle to get anything here, but if they are to get a result, Mikel Arteta needs to get his team selection spot on.

With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Arsenal’s starting XI for this clash.

We think Arsenal will make six changes from the team that started against West Brom in the Carabao Cup.

The likes of Sead Kolasinac, Nuno Tavares and Calum Chambers drop out of the backline as Arteta reverts back to the defence that started against Chelsea.

Albert Sambi Lokonga and Granit Xhaka start in the middle of the park, while Martin Odegaard only makes the bench for this one.

Nicolas Pepe and Bukayo Saka start on the wings, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang spearheads the attack.
