Last season’s top two headline Sunday’s Premier League action, as Arsenal host Manchester City in the final match before the October international break.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Bukayo Saka, who limped off during Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League defeat by Lens, misses out for the hosts.

It’s one of two changes for Arsenal, as Jorginho and Leandro Trossard start, with Kai Havertz dropping to the bench.

Gabriel Martinelli makes his return from injury as a substitute, meanwhile.

As for Man City, they make three alterations from the 2-1 loss at Molineux in Gameweek 7.

Josko Gvardiol, Rico Lewis and Bernardo Silva replace Manuel Akanji, Matheus Nunes and Jeremy Doku.

GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Odegaard, Rice, Jesus, Trossard, Nketiah

Subs: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Partey, Smith Rowe, Vieira, Havertz, Martinelli, Nelson

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Lewis, Kovacic, Bernardo, Alvarez, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Akanji, Stones, Bobb, Phillips, Grealish, Gomez, Nunes, Doku

    He had the afterburners on when he assisted that goal in their win against Man City.

I’m surprised the amount of flak Haaland is getting on here. When a few WCers suggested taking him out this week, they were mostly shot down in flames. And yet a blank away at Arsenal and now many are crying “Sell, sell.”

BHA and BOU in the next 3 weeks, are folks really that short-sighted?

  No the experts just know better.
  
  I'm doing a -8 hit to get Haaland out and bridging in Watking and Isak.
  A patreon membership gave me this tip.

Haaland had two great games this season against Fulham and Burnley.

Now four blanks in a row including cup games.

Not sure if he will haul against BHA but Bournemouth looks promising. But is that worth 14.1 (soon 14.0)?

  Of course not, not when Salah and Son are getting double digit hauls and are captaincy options.
  
  But many will look at EO% and shy away from making the big decision.
