Manchester City could welcome Benjamin Mendy back to their starting XI when Arsenal visit the Etihad this weekend. The French defender missed the recent clashes with Burnley and Newcastle after suffering swelling around his knee following surgery. However, Mendy was in training on Friday and could be handed a start as City look to get back to winning ways. Pep Guardiola’s side suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Newcastle at St James’ Park on Tuesday, leaving them five points behind Liverpool after the Reds drew with Leicester.
