The 22-year-old has scored 5 goals in the last 3 matches for City, including a hattrick against Dinamo Zagreb, and would be gunning for more glory against the Gunners.

The Brazilian striker has become a regular starter in the absence of Sergio Aguero and would look to add to his tally of 55 goals in 121 matches for Manchester City. He showed exceptional composure inside the opposition penalty box against Dinamo Zagreb, so Arsenal should be wary of him.

Gabriel Jesus would fancy his chances against a relatively inexperienced central defence pairing of Callum Chambers and Sokratis Papastathopoulos and would relish crosses from either wing. The likes of Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, and Benjamin Mendy should be able to provide those vital crosses into the Arsenal penalty box.

Jesus should also expect deft through balls from the likes of David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne, and it could turn out to be a goal-fest for City.
