The Premier League champions and Arsenal are primed to battle for the domestic crown again this season after the Gunners were pipped to the title on the final day last term.
Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side and Arsenal played out a feisty 2-2 draw at The Etihad earlier this month and head into the final round of fixtures ahead of the international break level on 14 points apiece.

Reflecting on that 11-game period last year, Saliba said: “Unfortunately, I got injured during the year, in the final sprint.
