Arsenal vs Man City: Premier League - LIVE!
Today, Arsenal is set to take on Man City at the Emirates Stadium in what promises to be a high stakes Premier League match. Although trailing behind the reigning champions, the Gunners have managed to maintain an unbeaten run in the league so far. A win against Guardiola's team would send a significant message and put major pressure on their opponents.
The defeat of City to Wolves during their previous game along with the suspension of Rodri, who is a crucial midfielder, has given hope to people in North London. Although Guardiola's team had a strong start to the season, they have suffered losses lately which indicates that they may not be as invincible as they once seemed.
Bukayo Saka is unable to play due to injury, and Arsenal has not triumphed over City in the Premier League since 2015. To be considered as legitimate contenders, the situation must be rectified.

Partey To Join Arsenal Squad
Manager Mikel Arteta has assured that Thomas Partey will be included in Arsenal's team for their crucial Premier League match against Manchester City.
The player from Ghana has been absent from the Arsenal team since their match against Fulham on August 26, in which they drew 2-2 at home. The player suffered a groin injury during practice before their game against Manchester United in north London.
Arteta informed the reporters during the Friday pre-match press conference that Partey has progressed quicker than anticipated.
Our plan was to include him in the team as a backup, but due to the way the game turned out, we had different priorities and didn't end up needing him. However, we will still be adding him to the squad for future games.
