Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's champions come into this contest in third place and a massive 17 points adrift of leaders Liverpool. Can they pick up a much-needed victory or will caretaker boss, Freddie Ljungberg help the Gunners spring a major surprise? Kick off 16:30 GMT.

KICK OFF! Man City get us underway.

Plenty of eyes will be on City's 20-year-old Englishmen, but Arsenal will be looking to their own young gun too in the teenage Gabriel Martinelli (18 years old).

HEAD-TO-HEAD: Arsenal are on a five-match losing streak against the Citizens in all competitions.

It's a big evening for this City starlet. Will he deliver?

Guardiola: "We will watch the previous Arsenal games and figure out what they will do. Arsenal have a typical style of play. They have quality between the lines with [Mesut] Ozil and [Alexandre] Lacazette."

Ljungberg on Pep: "I think he is a tremendous, tremendous coach and of course I've looked a little bit at how he did in his career. The ideas he comes up with - for me it has revolutionised football. Of course it's something as a young coach I looked at."

Mesut Ozil may have angered China and Arsenal have distanced themselves from his comments, but he still starts today. Not sure what it's all about? Follow the link to find out more.

Guardiola makes four changes to the side that were beaten by Manchester United in last week's derby. Phil Foden makes his first PL start of the campaign for the visitors, with Nicolas Otamendi, Benjamin Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan also getting the nod.

Nicolas Pepe is fit to start for Arsenal, so Freddie Ljungberg makes just the two changes to the side that beat West Ham. Sead Kolasinac and Matteo Guendouzi come in for Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka.
