Arsenalvs.Man City

The Gunners ensured that their six-point deficit to Liverpool at the top of the table would not extend last weekend, triumphing 1-0 over Wolverhampton Wanderers in a game that ended 10v10.

Arteta's men swapped Molineux for Montilivi on Wednesday evening, meeting Girona in their last Champions League league phase battle and eking out a 2-1 win to confirm their place in the last 16.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Man City, who kept their Champions League dream alive with a gripping 3-1 comeback victory at home to Club Brugge on Wednesday.

David Raya

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: February 2 (vs. Man City)

Neto making his debut in midweek was not a total surprise, but Arteta's admission that David Raya was "not fit" for the Girona match was, and his availability for the visit of Man City is therefore slightly up in the air.

Gabriel Jesus

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

From maybe out to definitely out, Gabriel Jesus is on the long road to recovery from an ACL injury and is at risk of missing the remainder of the calendar year.

Bukayo Saka

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: April 1 (vs. Fulham)

Bukayo Saka continues to take small steps in his recuperation from hamstring surgery, but the England international is at least another two months away from making his competitive comeback.

Ben White

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: February 2 (vs. Man City)

Ben White is on the cusp of making his long-awaited comeback from knee surgery, and as his return to full training is believed to be imminent, there is an outside chance that he could make the squad this weekend.

Takehiro Tomiyasu

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

There have been no in-depth updates on Takehiro Tomiyasu's latest knee problem for a few weeks, and while he is not anticipated to be out for much longer, a comeback on Sunday is out of the question.

ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match, as Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial red card at Wolves was overturned on appeal, meaning that his three-game ban for serious foul play was wiped.
