Arsenal will be without Mustafi, Mari, Chambers, Smith-Rowe and Martinelli as they are yet to recover from their injuries.
Some positive news is Kieran Tierney and Aubameyang will be available for selection, Tierney was isolating after he was in contact with a player who had the CoronaVirus but he has been permitted by authorities to play while Aubameyang has recovered from a minor injury he got on international duty.

Statistics don’t favour Arsenal as their last away win against a big six side was way back in 2015 against Man City, the Manchester side have given Arsenal a headache both home and away in the league for the past few seasons. Arsenal’s confidence will be from the 2-0 FA cup win against Man City in July and their struggling start to the new season.
