The title showdown at the Etihad gets underway at 16:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Pep Guardiola names the same side that beat Chelsea in Gameweek 32.

It means Nico O’Reilly is fit to start.

Further forward, Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku flank Erling Haaland, with Rayan Cherki in behind.

Elsewhere, there is a return to the matchday squad for John Stones.

As for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has made two alterations from Europe: Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz in for Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres, who drop to the bench.

It looks like Eberechi Eze will start off the left as a result of those changes.

    Donnarumma was top drawer a while back, would have put him there with Courtois but now he seems like a bit of a diddy.
