Overview

• The rivals meet at the Emirates on Sunday, following last season’s 2-2 at the Etihad that ended with Erling Haaland telling Mikel Arteta to "stay humble" and a 5-1 Arsenal win featuring Myles Lewis-Skelly’s mimic celebration.
• Dias said City will focus on their own standards and will not engage with any attempted provocation from Arsenal.
• Manchester City have steadied results with wins over Manchester United and Napoli after losses to Tottenham and Brighton before the international break.
• City are assessing Rodri’s readiness after he was taken off around the hour mark as a precaution against Napoli during his managed return from a serious knee injury.
• Arsenal are widely viewed as strengthened by their summer work and are being tipped by some observers as Premier League title favourites.
