The Arsenal vs Manchester City predicted lineups are intriguing to think about as both teams aim to win the first piece of major domestic silverware of the season and get a psychological boost in their Premier League title race. MORE — Arsenal v Man City preview, how to watch, live updates Mikel Arteta has so many attacking options, but who will he select to start at Wembley on Sunday? Is fatigue a big factor for Pep Guardiola as his City side lost to Real Madrid, and were knocked out of Europe, in a draining midweek encounter?

Below we take a look at the Arsenal vs Manchester City predicted lineups, with analysis on the possible XI's and the key decisions both Arteta and Guardiola have to make. Arsenal predicted lineup ——- Raya ——- —- White —- Saliba —- Gabriel —- Hincapie —- —— Zubimendi —— Rice —— —— Saka —— Eze —— Trossard —— ——- Gyokeres ——- The main injury concern is Jurrien Timber, who missed the midweek win against Bayer Leverkusen and is a big doubt. If he's not fit, will Ben White start again?

He hasn't played much this season and two starts in five days could be a lot. Cristhian Mosquera could play out of position at right back but White is probably the starter if Timber isn't fit. In midfield Rice and Zubimendi will hold and ahead of them there are a few big questions.

Bukayo Saka will start on the right while Eberechi Eze's recent form means he has to start as the number 10. But who starts on the left? Leandro Trossard will likely get the nod but in a game as tight as we expect this to be, perhaps Gabriel Martinelli starts for his extra defensive cover?
