Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

A thorough examination of Arsenal's Premier League title credentials awaits on Sunday, when the Gunners head north to pit their wits against reigning champions Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta's men have won each of their first eight top-flight games of 2024, including a hard-fought 2-1 success over Brentford before edging out Porto on penalties to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Thanks to Liverpool and Man City sharing the spoils at Anfield, Arsenal arrive at the Etihad sitting pretty at the top of the pile, one point better off than the champions and above the Reds courtesy of their superior goal difference.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their crunch clash with Man City, who booked their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals by beating Newcastle United just before the international break.

Status: Minor doubt

Bukayo Saka

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: March 31 (vs. Man City)

Type of injury: Achilles
Possible return date: March 31 (vs. Man City)

Jurrien Timber

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
