How Arsenal could line up with Partey absent
With Arsenal now failing to win either of their last two fixtures, the absence of their key midfielder will not come as good news.
Partey is expected to miss the clash after picking up a muscular injury, according to the Athletic.
The 29-year-old’s absence could see Jorginho in line for his full debut.
Arsenal have been unchanged in their last six games in a row before tonight.
The two sides recently faced off in the FA Cup with Man City coming out on top after Nathan Ake secured a 1-0 victory.
Partey picked up a knock in that game and was forced off at half-time but returned for their next league clash.
However, recent head-to-head clashes in the Premier League have seen the Cityzens come out on top on each of the last 10 occasions.
Fortunately, the injury is not thought to be serious.

A win for Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions will see them go level on points with the Gunners.
On the flip side, a win for Mikel Arteta‘s outfit will hand the North Londoners a six-point advantage with a game in-hand.
