British media "Standard" predicted the starting list of Manchester City's away game to Arsenal, with Haaland leading the way, and Foden, Rodri and Stones are expected to play first.

Guardiola faces a major decision whether to allow Stones to return to the start in the Premier League match against Arsenal. Stones missed two games after international matches due to a muscle injury, but has resumed training before the Champions League victory over Naples.

Jostones starts, Gvadiol and Husanov may serve as full-backs in the back line; if they are absent, Gvadiol or Ak will partner with Ruben Dias to the center back.

Guardiola said he was not sure whether Rodri could withstand the intensity of the Wednesday game, but the players were bound to be eager to play. In the 2-0 Champions League victory over Naples, Rodri was substituted in the early part of the second half, which was the coaching staff's protection after healed a serious knee injury.

Haaland will continue the showdown with Arsenal central defenders Gabriel and Saliba. Haaland has scored 12 goals in the club's seven games against the national team this season. Foden's recent rebound in its state should be able to lock in the starting position. Marmush (knee), Ait Nuri (ankle), Serki (thigh) and Kovacichi (Achilles tendon) are still missing.
