Injuries and Rodri's suspension mean there is as much intrigue about the line-up as what happens in this early season title clash
The big early title showdown is almost upon us, with last season’s challengers hosting champions and treble winners . The build-up to this one began as soon as City midfield lynchpin was shown a red card against a fortnight ago, but since then, Arsenal have had their own doubts over winger .
Partey’s absence through a groin injury has coincided with the manager returning to the 4-3-3 of last season, however. Not much has been new as a result — apart from how teams defend against Arsenal. Now, Arteta’s side spend much more time in the opposition half trying to break them down, which is why they have won more penalties so far than they did throughout the whole of last season.
