Man City predicted lineup vs Arsenal - Premier League

Manchester City will host the biggest Game of the 2022/23 Premier League season when title rivals Arsenal head to the Etihad on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's in-form side are in control of their own destiny in the title race and a victory here would almost guarantee they'll get their hands on a trophy that most fans had given up on just a few months ago.

Here's how the boss could set up to secure that win.

Man City predicted lineup vs Arsenal (3-2-4-1)

GK: Ederson - The stopper will be keen to stop his countryman, Gabriel Martinelli, from grabbing the goal he needs to break the record for most goals from a Brazilian in a Premier League season.

CB: Manuel Akanji - It'll be Akanji who lines up directly against Martinelli. His agility could be key.

CB: Ruben Dias - Dias is enjoying this unconventional formation and the added protection around him has led to a return of his best form.

CB: Aymeric Laporte - Nathan Ake is a doubt with a hamstring injury so expect Guardiola to turn back to Laporte.

DM: John Stones - Midfield physicality could be key in this one and Stones' inclusion will help City win that battle.

DM: Rodri - Rodri netted in both Premier League meetings with Arsenal last season but drew a blank in February's 3-1 victory.

RM: Riyad Mahrez - After a famous hat-trick in the FA Cup semi-final, it'll be hard for Guardiola to leave Mahrez out of this one.

CM: Ilkay Gundogan - Gundogan's brilliance is starting to generate plenty of praise as City fans grow increasingly concerned that he could be on his way out this summer.

CM: Kevin De Bruyne - No club has conceded more goals to De Bruyne during his career than Arsenal, who have watched the Belgian wheel off in celebration no fewer than six times.

LM: Jack Grealish - Grealish is flying these days, boasting the kind of confidence players need for these big occasions.

ST: Erling Haaland - One goal for the 38-Game season record and three for the all-time honour. You wouldn't put it past him.

Zak Brown says he wants to see McLaren fighting the so-called "top four" teams in Formula 1 by the end of 2023, but acknowledges that the squad won't be challenging them for position. McLaren have endured a slow start to 2023, with their launch MCL60 design being hobbled until a upgrade package arrived in Azerbaijan, improving the floor of the car. Lando Norris finished 'best of the rest' in Baku in ninth behind the eight cars from Red Bull, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Mercedes, and while Brown admits the team won't catch this group in the standings, he does feel catching them on track is possible.
