The Gunners are unbeaten in their first four league matches, winning three and drawing one, and they will be confident of extending that run against a City side who have also made a strong start to the campaign. City are the only team to have taken points off Arsenal this season, holding them to a 1-1 draw in the season opener. But Arsenal will be determined to get revenge on Sunday and move three points clear at the top of the table. The match is expected to be a close and competitive affair, with both teams possessing plenty of quality in their ranks. Arsenal will be looking to their attacking trio of Miedema, McCabe, and Foord to provide the goals, while City will be hoping that James and Weir can continue their good form in front of goal. The match will also be a test of Arsenal's defensive resilience. City have scored 10 goals in their first four league matches, and they will be looking to add to that tally against an Arsenal side that has conceded just two goals so far this season. Arsenal will be without the services of injured midfielder Jordan Nobbs, but they will be boosted by the return of defender Wubben-Moy from suspension. City will be without injured defender Esme Morgan. The match will be played at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, September 25, at 12:30pm BST.
