#3 Phil Foden (Manchester City)
Phil Foden, who is having arguably his best season for Manchester City, could have a stellar outing against Arsenal.
Trending
Foden has earned rave reviews for his performances in recent games. His work ethic and desire to get into the box have been immense, helping Manchester City at a time when they were bereft of any recognised forwards.
Manchester City’s strength under Pep Guardiola have always been pressing from the top and the brilliant combination play between the attackers. In this regard, the versatile Foden has particularly stood out.
Foden's appearances have predominantly come on the left wing, where the player has responded with outstanding displays.
#4 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
The African had a woeful start to the season, scoring just two goals in 12 Premier League games, as Arsenal struggled to create openings. However, the Gunners have enjoyed a better run in front of goal of late, with Aubameyang particularly impressing.
Not the most vocal of leaders on the pitch, Aubameyang lets his football do the talking. He put up a show against Leeds United in his last Premier League game.
The former Borussia Dortmund star scored a sublime hat-trick as Arsenal beat Leeds United 4-2 to end his team's three-game winless run in the Premier League.
Aubameyang has the pace and can finish, and could be crucial for the Gunners on the break. Arsenal might not have too many openings against Manchester City, so Aubameyang will have to be efficient on the night.
#5 Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City)
When Kevin De Bruyne picked up an injury in January, there were doubts whether Manchester City could continue their good form. However, Ilkay Gundogan’s imperious form has seen him pick up the PFA Player of the Month award in January.
The German isn’t known for his goals, so a return of eight goals in his last nine games was a big surprise. His ability to ghost into the penalty box at the right time to find the back of the net is something Guardiola sorely needed, as Gabriel Jesus struggled for form.
Gundogan missed the game against Everton. But the Sky Blues did not need him, as they romped to a 3-1 win.
Arsenal are likely to play with more sturdiness at the back, so Gundogan’s presence and attacking runs could be crucial for Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.
