Don’t rule them out – Mikel Arteta says Man City could still challenge for title - The Gunners host Ruben Amorim’s United nine points adrift of table-topping Liverpool, but two points clear of Pep Guardiola’s City.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed Manchester City's slump in form as a "bump" and insisted they remain serious Premier League title contenders this season.

Arteta has issued an injury update ahead of the game at the Emirates, with Gabriel Magalhaes likely to be fit, a significant boost in regard to aiding Arsenal’s attempts to open up what is a likely to be a tight game with a set-piece goal.
