Overview

• Kick-off is 4:30 pm BST on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, with Sky Sports broadcasting in the UK and Peacock streaming in the US.
• Stuart Attwell leads the officiating team with assistants Constantine Hatzidakis and Nicholas Hopton, VAR Jarred Gillett, AVAR Ian Hussin, and fourth official Craig Pawson.
• Arsenal face a late test on captain Martin Ødegaard and remain without Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, while William Saliba is expected to return.
• Manchester City list Omar Marmoush, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Mateo Kovačić as out; John Stones has trained and Rodri’s inclusion is a selection call after workload management.
• Previews cite Arsenal’s 48-hour rest advantage after Tuesday’s UCL match, an unbeaten four-game run against City including February’s 5-1 win, mixed predictions (Alan Shearer tips a draw) and betting markets that lean toward the hosts; Attwell has averaged 5.67 yellow cards per game this season.
