The biggest match of the 5th round of the English Premier League will take place today in London. The vice-champion, Arsenal, will host Manchester City at home. This match is considered one of the main matches not only of the round, but of the entire season.
The clash, which will take place at the Emirates Stadium, will kick off at 8:30 PM Tashkent time. The starting lineups for the match have been announced, including Uzbekistan national team defender Abdukodir Khusanov. The young footballer was named in the starting lineup for the "Citizens" for the fourth time in a row.
Khusanov has become one of Guardiola's key players thanks to his reliable performances in recent matches. His enthusiasm on the field and his stamina in defense are a great strength for City.
Looking at the standings, the Gunners, under Mikel Arteta, have scored 9 points in their first four games and are in top positions. Manchester City has only managed to accumulate 6 points so far. Therefore, this match is of strategic importance for both teams.
