Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Arsenal clash: De Bruyne, Ake

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

Manchester City will endeavour to preserve their perfect start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when they lock horns with title rivals Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens have won each of their first four top-flight games thus far, although they drew a blank in front of goal in the Champions League on Wednesday night as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Inter Milan on home soil.

Arsenal, meanwhile, beat rivals Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the North London derby last weekend, and will do battle with Atalanta BC in the Champions League on Thursday.

Ahead of this mouthwatering top-of-the-table Premier League showdown, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news.
