Arsenal XI vs Manchester City: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for FA Cup today Arsenal team news update ahead of tonight’s trip to Man City

 Arsenal take on Manchester City in the FA Cup tonight with Emile Smith Rowe ruled out of making his return to the starting line-up.


Jakub Kiwior joined the Gunners from Spezia on Monday afternoon, for an initial fee of £17.5million, and he should be in the squad for the match at the Etihad.



Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is likely to make changes to his team for the clash with City and Leandro Trossard is set to make his full debut.

“I see a player [in Trossard] that is willing to make things happen and who is really composed, especially in the final third,” said Arteta.

“It’s something we needed in the team and straight away he had a beautiful impact in the team to help us to win it.”
