Manchester City make two changes ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City have made two changes ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

Fernando and Leroy Sane are drafted into Pep Guardiola's starting XI, with Nolito dropping to the bench, while Ilkay Gundogan is out injured and misses out altogether.

Kevin De Bruyne is expected to play as the forward against the Gunners as Guardiola continues to tinker with his lineup in the absence of Sergio Aguero.

Arsenal, meanwhile, make one change from their 2-1 defeat at Everton as Alex Iwobi replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is named among the substitutes.

Manchester City: Bravo, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Sterling, De Bruyne, Sane, Silva, Toure
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Stones, Nolito, Navas, Iheanacho, Garcia

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Xhaka, Walcott, Ozil, Iwobi, Sanchez
Subs: Gibbs, Lucas Perez, Giroud, Ospina, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Holding, Elneny
