Team News
England forward Danny Welbeck could make his Arsenal debut in the lunchtime clash against Manchester City following a £16 million deadline day move from Manchester United. Midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be assessed while captain Mikel Arteta (ankle) is back in full training, along with goalkeeper David Ospina (thigh) and full-back Kieran Gibbs (hamstring). German playmaker Mesut Özil should be available after returning early from international duty because of a sprained ankle. England forward Theo Walcott is a couple of weeks away from returning after a serious knee injury, but midfielder Serge Gnabry remains out and striker Olivier Giroud (fractured foot) is a long-term absentee.
Meanwhile, City are without midfielder Fernando and striker Stevan Jovetic will miss Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Arsenal. Defender Eliaquim Mangala, signed from Porto last month for £32 million, and on-loan former England midfielder Frank Lampard are both in contention for debuts after building up their general fitness. Captain Vincent Kompany is fit after coming through Belgium's friendly with Australia unscathed despite concerns over a calf injury.
Jeremy Wilson's prediction: Arsenal 1 Manchester City 1.
