Arsenal meanwhile edged past Middlesborough on Monday night but haven’t looked convincing in recent weeks.

Arsene Wenger has opted to stick with the 3-5-2 formation he used earlier this week.

Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud all start. Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka make up Arsenal’s central midfield.

Pep Guardiola has stuck with his 4-2-3-1 formation. Kun Aguero starts up top while captain Vincent Kompany has kept his place in the starting lineup.
