Arsenal vs Man City line-up: 2 superstars did not participate in the match for unexpected reasons

The expected lineup for the Arsenal vs Man City match takes place at 22:00 on August 6, 2023 English Super Cup. See the most accurate list of players expected to appear in the Arsenal vs Man City match.

Arsenal went into their first game of the season without striker Gabriel Jesus, who has been confirmed by manager Mikel Arteta to be out for several weeks after undergoing minor surgery following a knee injury from late last season.

Bukayo Saka missed the Monaco win due to illness but will recover in time, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is set to return but has not played a minute in pre-season so it is difficult to play.

When Folarin Balogun is also recovering from a leg injury, Eddie Nketiah – who scored Arsenal’s equalizer in the Emirates Cup, is likely to take the starting place in attack, alongside Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

The “Gunners” are pushing to recruit Brentford goalkeeper David Raya, but Aaron Ramsdale still holds the number one spot at the moment.

On the Man City side, Kevin De Bruyne is the only big doubt after suffering a hamstring injury in the Champions League final in June. Coach Pep Guardiola seems to have to manage without his talented player coming in. this weekend.

On a more positive side, Nathan Ake is expected to recover for the English Super Cup after sitting out the confrontation with Atletico due to fatigue. Man City’s goal in defense is Josko Gvardiol, which is very difficult to debut against Arsenal despite reaching an agreement with Leipzig for a fee of 90 million euros. Instead, rookie Mateo Kovacic took the place in midfield.

Arsenal: Ramsdale; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Rice, Partey; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
