Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the Premier League fixture with Manchester City.

Arsenal will be looking to make it six straight wins in all competitions when they continue their Premier League campaign at home to Manchester City on January 1.

The Gunners have been victorious in each of their last four league fixtures to rise into fourth position in the table, four points clear of fifth-placed West Ham United.

Mikel Arteta's side had been due to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 28, but the match was postponed due to coronavirus issues in the Wolves camp.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the reigning English champions.
