Martin Odegaard is set to make a significant impact as he returns to the Arsenal squad for the highly anticipated clash against Manchester City on Sunday. The Arsenal captain missed the previous two matches due to injury, but his comeback is a welcomed boost for the team in this top-of-the-table Premier League encounter.
Key Changes in the Arsenal Line-up
Alongside Odegaard, Kai Havertz will also be included in the starting eleven. This change means that Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli will move to the bench after their participation in the goalless draw with Sporting last Wednesday.
Starting XI for Arsenal
- Goalkeeper: David Raya
- Defenders: Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie
- Midfielders: Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze
- Forwards: Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz
Noni Madueke has fully recovered from a recent knock and will start on the right wing. The defense remains steady with an unchanged back four, providing a strong foundation against a formidable Manchester City side.
Manchester City’s Line-up
Manchester City will maintain the same squad that secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Chelsea last weekend. The City lineup features well-known talents, making this match an exciting contest.
Starting XI for Manchester City
- Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma
- Defenders: Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly
- Midfielders: Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Nunes
- Forwards: Samuel Cherki, Doku, Erling Haaland
Substitutes for City include notable players like Foden, Stones, and Ake, adding depth to their options. This clash between Arsenal and Manchester City promises to be a thrilling contest, as both teams vie for premier position in the league.
