Sergio Aguero, Alexis Sanchez, Kevin De Bruyne… check out our phenomenal Manchester City vs Arsenal combined XI

MANCHESTER CITY play host to Arsenal in one of Sunday's massive games at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's men have stormed to the top of the Premier League, dropping just two points all season.

Historically, Man City struggle to perform against Arsenal, but the Gunners themselves have a dreadful record away to the "Big Six".

Arsene Wenger's men are already nine points behind City in the Premier League, losing three of their first ten games.

But going into the game, who would make a Man City-Arsenal combined XI?

Check out the somewhat City-heavy, 4-3-3 team, below...

GOALKEEPER

Petr Cech

WHEN considering who should start between the sticks, it's tough to choose between Cech and Ederson.

HIT AND MISS Where are the top 50 teenagers in the world from 2007 now?

The Czech former Chelsea stopper gets the nod here thanks purely to his experience.

Cech would be a strong additional to almost any squad on the planet... and gets our vote here.

DEFENCE

Kyle Walker, John Stones, Laurent Koscielny, Sead Kolasinac

BOTH defences have their frailties... but combined? They're a strong back four.

Kolasinac has proven to be a superb acquisition for the Gunners - arguably their best player, even - while Walker starts on the other flank, over Hector Bellerin.

Meanwhile in the heart of defence, Stones - fresh from another superb week in Europe - joins Koscielny in a sturdy and well-rounded back four.

MIDFIELD

Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva

IT'S impossible to have a central midfield duo, without these two.

Both clubs have a wealth of midfield stars, but Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Granit Xhaka and Co aren't on the same level as De Bruyne and Silva.

Their creative ability and attacking prowess are easily amongst the best in the league. It's a no-brainer.

FORWARDS

Leroy Sane, Alexis Sanchez, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero

IMAGINE this... an attacking trio of Sane, Sanchez and Sterling behind Aguero.

Sane and Sterling have been amongst the best players in the league this season, both scoring - and creating - goals for fun.

Meanwhile, Sanchez could be deployed just behind - if not alongside - Aguero in the middle of the attacking three.

Aguero gets the nod over team-mate Gabriel Jesus and Arsenal stars Alexandre Lacazette and Olivier Giroud, this time.
