Manchester City will be aiming to open up an 11-point lead at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal on Saturday.

John Stones and Rodri are both doubtful due to injury, while Kyle Walker has not featured since his red card against RB Leipzig.

BETTING ODDS & TIPS
Manchester City is favourite to beat Arsenal at Evens (2.0) with bet365. At 9/2 (4.50) to win, Arsenal are considered major underdogs.
Gabriel Jesus is 11/2 (6.50) to be first goalscorer against a defence he has fired past in two of the last three meetings, although top scorer Raheem Sterling looks like better value at 6/1 (7.0) after hitting the net in five of his last seven league appearances against Arsenal.
Emile Smith Rowe offers potential value at 14/1 (15.0) to strike first after getting on target in seven of his last 10 league games.
Having run out comfortable 5-0 winners in the reverse encounter at the Etihad Stadium - their 11th victory in 12 games against Arsenal - City look like excellent value at Evens (2.0) to come out on top once again here.
Although this game brings together the Premier League's two form teams, Manchester City's dominant recent record over Arsenal makes them clear favourites.
Pep Guardiola's team have not lost against the Gunners in the league since 2015, coming out on top in each of the last nine encounters and going undefeated in 12.
With Chelsea and Liverpool going head-to-head at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, this game offers the champions an opportunity to pull even further ahead in the title race.
Despite his side's own strong recent run, Mikel Arteta will surely go into this game against his former club more in hope than expectation.
fter testing positive for Covid again, Mikel Arteta will not be in the dugout when Arsenal host leaders Manchester City at Emirates Stadium on New Year’s Day.
Arteta is isolating and his assistant Albert Stuivenberg will take charge of the team as Arsenal attempt to stop the City juggernaut.
Arsenal have shot up the table in recent weeks and sit fourth after four wins in a row in the Premier League
But the visit of City will be a real test of their progress.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won 10 straight games in the Premier League, have opened up an eight-point lead at the top and look like they could run away with the title.

Arsenal vs Man City team news
Calum Chambers and Maitland-Niles have returned to training to ease Arsenal’s right-back crisis.
Arsenal were without all four of their right-back options for their win at Norwich as Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Cedric and Takehiro Tomiyasu all tested positive for Covid-19.
Ben White had to fill in at right-back, but Chambers and Maitland-Niles are back in training and could return.
As of Friday, the Gunners had reported no fresh Covid cases, which means they could field the same team who beat Norwich 5-0.
For City, Joao Cancelo has travelled to London and is available after a violent assault on the Portuguese at his family home left him with facial injuries.
Cancelo suffered cuts to the face after attempting to fight off a gang of robbers at his family home on Thursday. But he wishes to be considered for selection despite the incident.
Kyle Walker has returned to training after injury so should Guardiola choose to rest Cancelo, who can operate as either full-back, City could play the England international at right-back, with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Nathan Ake options at left-back.
