Manchester City hosts Arsenal in the marquee match of the 5th round of the Premier League.

Arsenal’s starting lineup did not include regular defender Ben White, with his spot taken by Ricardo Calafiori.

Mikel Arteta explained this lineup decision, noting that it was a rotation and not injury-related.

Quote: "It was somewhat forced to replace Ben White with Ricardo Calafiori, but everything is fine. We’ve done this with different players, and we have full confidence in those we have. It gives us something different," Arteta said.

To recall: Ben White has played 5 matches this season across all competitions without any goal contributions.
