Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester City vs Arsenal

  Premier League returns to action after the international break on Saturday, October 17. Manchester City will be preparing to host Arsenal on Saturday. Before going to an international break, City played a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. While Arsenal celebrated a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "The good news for Manchester City is that Raheem Sterling should be fit after picking up an injury on international duty. The bad news is that Kevin de Bruyne is a doubt after doing the same, because he would be a massive miss. "City have got striker Sergio Aguero on the way back after his long lay-off, and they need him fit and firing again. He has been training but I don't see him starting this game. "Arsenal got a bit lucky in their win over Sheffield United last time out, but if City are missing some key players, the Gunners are in with a shout."
