Arteta will be desperate to have Madueke available as Arsenal look to end a winless run at the Etihad, where they have not tasted victory in 11 years. Sunday's fixture represents a massive hurdle in the Premier League title race, with City currently lurking just behind the Gunners. Should Pep Guardiola's side secure the win, they would close the gap at the summit just three points with a game in hand.
The availability of wide options is a major concern for the coaching staff, especially as Bukayo Saka continues to struggle with an Achilles issue. With Saka's involvement against the Citizens still shrouded in doubt, Madueke’s presence on the right flank becomes even more vital for Arsenal's tactical blueprint.
