Manchester City will strive to maintain their flawless start to the 2024-25 Premier League season as they face off against title contenders Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Citizens have been victorious in all four of their top-flight matches so far, although they failed to find the back of the net in the Champions League on Wednesday night, settling for a 0-0 draw against Inter Milan at home.
On the other hand, Arsenal secured a 1-0 win over rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby last weekend and are set to clash with Atalanta BC in the Champions League on Thursday.
In anticipation of this highly anticipated top-of-the-table Premier League showdown, Sports Mole provides the latest updates on Manchester City’s injuries and suspensions.
Kevin De Bruyne is a doubt for the upcoming match after he was seen holding his groin area before being substituted at halftime in the midweek draw with Inter Milan. Pep Guardiola briefly commented on the Belgian’s situation after the game.
