Sad news for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal before Manchester City clash

One of the big matches in the English Premier League this weekend sees league leaders Manchester City trade tackle with Arsenal on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, obviously, will head into the fixture as the Premier League runaway leaders.

Pep Guardiola’s side have started the season in exceptional form. Everton are the only side to have kept the Sky Blues from winning a match this campaign.

Arsene Wenger’s boys were criticized following the 2-1 away loss at Watford. In any case, the Gunners have responded well with four consecutive wins.

Prior to the Man City fixture, Arsenal will go up against Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.

Arsene Wenger will trust his players win that match with no issues, as he’s already been handed serious defensive problems to handle.

A weekend ago, in a 2-1 triumph over Swansea City, Sead Kolasinac limped out of the match in the second half.

As indicated by the London Evening Standard, while questions still surround Kolasinac’s entire health status, the wing-back ought to be available for the Manchester City clash.

But on the other hand, there’s awful news, as Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi is probably not going to be fit enough for Sunday’s English Premier League outing against Manchester City. The defender is sidelined with a groin problem.

At the same time, France international defender Laurent Koscielny remains always persistent by endless Achilles issues, in spite of the fact that the Frenchman ought to likewise be fit for the City game.
