Arsenal vs Manchester City preview
What a difference a week can make.
Some were labelling it a 'mini crisis' when Manchester City suffered back-to-back defeats against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and Wolves in the Premier League.
But a confident 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League paired with the return of a couple of first-team stalwarts in Bernardo Silva and John Stones has changed the picture.
It's the complete opposite for Arsenal, who were absolutely flying after their comprehensive 4-0 drubbing of Bournemouth.
However, they squandered a one-goal advantage before eventually losing 2-1 to French opponents Lens in the Champions League on Tuesday.
And to rub salt in the wounds, talisman Bukayo Saka left the field early with an injury that Mikel Arteta said does not look good.
The England international is now likely to undergo a scan to determine the severity of the problem and is a doubt for Sunday's clash.

Arsenal vs Manchester City betting tips
Away win…
You have to fancy Manchester City at that price. The Cityzens are available at 11/8 to claim maximum points against their title rivals, who will likely be without influential duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
City completed the league double over Arsenal last year, and in fact have won eight of the last nine against the Gunners in all competitions. Their midweek win over RB Leipzig will have boosted confidence, while the return of Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva and John Stones will be a huge relief to manager Pep Guardiola.

Fantastic Phil…
Phil Foden is enjoying his added responsibility in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne. The 23-yer-old has scored twice and provided four assists in 819 minutes of action in all competitions this season.
Only Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez have registered more efforts on target than the England international, who has averaged a shot every 37 minutes in the Premier League.
He's also created a monster 18 chances in seven top-flight appearances, which ranks him fifth for midfielders in the division having played less minutes than any of his peers.

KAI-rate chop
It's not been the greatest start to life at Arsenal for Kai Havertz.
The Germany international, 24, has mustered just a single Premier League goal since his switch from Chelsea, and that was from the penalty spot last weekend.
But he does lead the rankings in one department, and that's fouls. Nobody has committed more fouls than Havertz's 11 in the Arsenal squad. He's averaging a foul every 40 minutes and should be in the thick of things again this weekend.
He's started five times against City and picked up two bookings.
