The Emirates Stadium will host a highly anticipated clash on Sunday evening as Arsenal take on Manchester City in matchday 5 of the Premier League.
The visitors will once again be without Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, who remains sidelined with a knee ligament injury.
Arsenal enter the match sitting second in the table with nine points, ahead of Tottenham and Bournemouth on goal difference.
The Gunners, runners-up in each of the last three Premier League seasons, are looking to reinforce their title credentials after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool late last month.
Manchester City, currently eighth with six points, are chasing momentum after back-to-back wins—a commanding 3-0 Manchester derby triumph over United, followed by a 2-0 victory against Serie A champions Napoli in their Champions League opener.
Marmoush sustained his injury while representing Egypt in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Burkina Faso earlier this month.
According to English media reports, he is expected to return on October 5, when City face Brentford in the league.
