Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to bounce back from consecutive losses and keep their Premier League title bid alive when they face struggling Leeds at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Man City had entered the November international break off the back of a brilliant run of wins capped off by the demolition of Liverpool but have fallen hard upon their return, losing at Newcastle before a home loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Guardiola made 10 changes for the clash with Leverkusen, which totally backfired, and he will restore his big guns for this must-win clash with Arsenal now seven points clear.
As for Leeds, anything here would be a bonus as Daniel Farke inches closer to the sack following a run of five losses in six league games. The Elland Road club have fallen into the relegation zone as a result and look set for a long struggle this season.

Manchester City vs. Leeds prediction: Who will win?
Even with their hot and cold form, it would be a major surprise if City don't win this game and win it comfortably.
Leeds have lost all but one of their games on the road upon their return to the top flight and that came via a win at rock-bottom Wolves.
Expect City led by Erling Haaland to get back on track with an easy win and put some pressure on Arsenal and Chelsea ahead of their summit meeting on Sunday.
