Arsenal have been handed the daunting task of facing Manchester City twice in the same week as they meet again in the Premier League on Thursday after Sunday’s League Cup final.

City hammered the Gunners 3-0 at Wembley and are clear favourites to win again, even though Arsene Wenger’s side will have home advantage.

Arsenal are down in sixth place in the table, and if they suffer defeat they will remain eight points behind Chelsea in fifth, and 10 points behind north London rivals Spurs in fourth.

Pep Guardiola’s team picked up their first piece of silverware of the season at the weekend, and as they are currently 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League, it will not be their last.

Team news

Arsene Wenger will still be without Nacho Monreal, Alexandre Lacazette and Santi Cazorla, all of whom are long-term injury concerns.

Manchester City may be able to welcome back Raheem Sterling after he missed the game on Sunday, although Fernandinho is not out with a hamstring strain and Benjamin Mendy remains sidelined.
