Both Arsenal and City made winning starts to their Champions League campaigns in midweek.
Arsenal had an extra day to recover from their midweek ventures, though, which could give them the edge.
Arteta’s selection will be made more challenging by a rash of frustrating injuries. The hosts could be without Ben White, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard for the clash, while City are missing Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush.
