Mikel Arteta can graduate from pupil to master as he faces off against his old mentor Pep Guardiola in unquestionably the most important match between the two budding rivals.

Arsenal host Manchester City in a pivotal Premier League title bout, with the Gunners holding a slim three-point lead atop the table plus a game in hand. Arteta, once an assistant at Man City under Guardiola, now leads the charge, but recent form has brought even bigger meaning to this game at the Emirates.

With the Arsenal lead at the top of the table once as high as eight points, the Gunners have dropped points in three straight league games, and while Man City have also displayed cracks at times, they have done enough to tighten the gap.

As both sides search for their previously dominant form, an intriguing match provides oodles of storylines from which to feast before, during, and after the top two Premier League teams clash.

Arsenal vs Man City lineups & team news

Long-term absentees Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny remain out for this match, and Emile Smith Rowe is still working back from a thigh injury.

Thomas Partey is the big absentee with a muscular injury, meaning Jorginho makes his first Arsenal start since joining on deadline day from Chelsea. Elsewhere, Arteta sprung a minor surprise by giving Takehiro Tomiyasu the nod over Ben White at right-back.

Arsenal starting lineup (4-3-3): Ramsdale (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko — Odegaard, Jorginho, Xhaka — Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli

The biggest focus for Man City was on star striker Erling Haaland who was withdrawn at halftime during the win over Aston Villa. Haaland has been passed fit to start, with Julian Alvarez primed to step in on the bench if his problem flares up again. Centre-back John Stones remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Guardiola had choices to make in the left-back position. It will be filled by a combination of Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake, with the Netherlands international replacing Aymeric Laporte in the only change to the Xi that beat Villa. Ake will nominally play on the left of a back three in possession.

Man City starting lineup (3-2-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Ake — Rodri, Silva — De Bruyne, Gundogan — Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish

Arsenal vs Man City betting odds & lines

Odds via BetMGM (USA), Sports Interaction (Canada), SkyBet (UK), and Neds (Australia).

Despite Arsenal's exceptional home form this season, unbeaten at the Emirates in the league, Manchester City are a slight favorite on hostile ground. That's no surprise, as the betting market has stuck with Man City for much of the season, despite Arsenal's significant advantage atop the Premier League table. It took Arsenal pushing to an eight point lead for them to become title favourites, and with that lead back down to just three, Man City have retaken the mantle.

While the betting market does believe that both teams will find the back of the net with relative certainty, there are questions regarding the overall game flow of this match. The over 2.5 goals total is only a slight favorite, meaning there's respect shown for two of the top three defensive setups in the Premier League.
