Ahead of EPL Sunday cracker between Manchester City Vs Arsenal, Kevin De Bruyne and Martin Odegaard are out
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Manchester City pipped Arsenal to the last two successive Premier League titles, in a race that last season went down to the final match.
Mikel Arteta’s side will be hoping to go one better this campaign, and they remain unbeaten in the league so far, having won three and drawn one, while City have enjoyed a flawless start to their season, winning all four of their opening four matches.

It was known that Martin Odegaard would miss this match after Mikel Arteta revealed the injury he suffered playing for his country in the recent international break was worse than first feared.
But Manchester City would argue that Arsenal can call it even as Kevin De Bruyne is a massive miss for the reigning champions.
Pep Guardiola said that the Belgian playmaker would face a late fitness test – something he has clearly failed.
But it’s not about who’s not at the Etihad today, it is about who is and both managers have been able to put out very strong teams.
Pep Guardiola will be delighted to include Rodri from the start, while there will be arguments that Rico Lewis is unlucky after his excellent start to the campaign.
Arsenal have plenty of attacking options at their disposal, and they also have Declan Rice back after he missed the last league game because of suspension.
See team news below:
Manchester City (4-1-4-1) Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri; Savinho, Silva, Gundogan, Doku; Haaland.
Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Partey, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
