Granit Xhaka has returned to the Arsenal starting XI and FA Cup semi-final hero Riyad Mahrez has to settle for the Manchester City bench. Read on to see full line-ups and more in the latest Man City & Arsenal team news. 

So Xhaka returns for Arsenal in what could give the side a major boost after another frustrating result last time out. He missed last Friday’s 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Captain Martin Odegaard also lines up to make his 100th Gunners appearance.

As for City, Mahrez doesn’t get the nod ahead of the in-form Bernardo Silva. The Algerian scored a hat-trick at Wembley on Saturday against Sheffield United in the FA Cup, but watches on from the bench in this one.

Also for Pep Guardiola’s side, Kyle Walker comes in to replace Nathan Ake.
