Unai Emery prepares for his first Premier League game in charge of Arsenal... but how will he line up against champions Manchester City?

                                                                                             Emery's first Premier League clash in charge of Arsenal couldn't be any harder against the record-breaking reigning champions but he will be desperate to make his mark immediately.

Here,let takes a look at how Arsenal will line up for the mouth-watering clash against Pep Guardiola's side on Sunday afternoon at the Emirates..Arsenal begin their fresh era under the leadership of Unai Emery when they take on Manchester City on Sunday.Unai Emery mixed formations up during pre-season, playing 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 most regularly, but with City's frightening attack, Emery may opt for a more defensive minded set-up.

Petr Cech and new signing Bernd Leno both were handed starts in pre-season but Emery is expected to start the latter after bringing him in for £20million from Bayer Leverkusen. The Spaniard will look to give the German goalkeeper his confidence early on.

Despite the arrival of Stephan Lichtsteiner, Hector Bellerin is likely to start at right back due to his experience playing in the Arsenal backline and pace to deal with City's blistering wingers.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Shkodran Mustafi appear the safe option to start alongside each other in the heart of defence. With only youngsters Rob Holding and Konstantinos Mavropanos in extra supply, Emery will want experience and leadership at the back.Arsenal will be confident they can hurt City's defence, especially those coming back from World Cup duty. Henrikh Mkhitaryan will start on the right of the three and use his trickery and clever passing to unlock Guardiola's backline.

Mesut Ozil will start on the left and can inter-change with Mkhitaryan. With these two in the team, Arsenal have creativity in abundance, especially with their pacey strikers making runs in behind City's defence. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will lead the line for the Gunners, with Alexandre Lacazette a very useful tool for the side off the bench.

With Aubameyang's pace and deadly finishing in front of goal, he can cause a City defence, full of players just back from the World Cup, plenty of problems.
