Manchester City host Arsenal in the Premier League in Matchday 3 as Mikel Arteta returns once again to The Etihad.

Mikel Arteta returns to his former employers once again as his beleagured Arsenal side take on defending Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Gunners have endured a miserable start to the 2021/22 campaign with two defeats from two - albeit with a morale-boosting 6-0 Carabao Cup win over West Brom in midweek. 

But it doesn't get much easier on Saturday lunchtime when Arteta's men travel north to face a Man City side fresh from destroying newly-promoted Norwich 5-0 last weekend.

Pep Guardiola's men are now resigned to missing out on Harry Kane after the Tottenham forward revealed he would remain in north London.

Now they'll be desperate to prove they can thrive without a recognised No 9 as they bid to make it back-to-back wins.

Will Man City flex their muscles and pile further misery on Guardiola's former assistant? Or will Arteta spring a huge shock and spark Arsenal's season into life in spectacular fashion?
