John Stones is a surprise inclusion in the Manchester City squad to face Arsenal, having initially been ruled out of the game by Pep Guardiola on Friday, but the Blues are without goalkeeper Ederson.
Guardiola said the Brazilian was fit to face the Gunners 48 hours earlier but the thigh injury he picked up in the draw at Liverpool has forced him out of the game, with Stefan Ortega deputising, while Scott Carson is on the bench.
Having Stones available is a boost, however, with the centre-back limping out of England's friendly with Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday with a groin injury.
When asked at his press conference on Friday, Guardiola said the 29-year-old wouldn't be available and ruled him out alongside Kyle Walker, who was also injured on international duty.
