Goal Scorer:
Luton
Luton received a timely double defensive boost before the visit of Arsenal, as Alfie Doughty shook off the hip concern which saw him sit out the loss to Brentford, while Teden Mengi also battled back from a knee problem to make the first XI.
Albert Sambi Lokonga could not face his parent club in midweek but could now be back in the fold too, having entered the final stages of his recovery from a thigh concern, while Tom Lockyer (back) and Marvelous Nakamba (knee) are also listed as touch-and-go at the time of writing.
However, Man City loanee Issa Kabore is ineligible for this encounter, while Mads Andersen (hamstring), Reece Burke (thigh), Cauley Woodrow (calf) and Dan Potts (ankle) are also out for the Hatters, who should not deviate too much from the side that gave Arsenal a terrific run for their money.
Luton Town possible starting lineup:
Kaminski; Bell, Osho, Mengi; Ogbene, Barkley, Mpanzu, Doughty; Townsend, Adebayo, Morris
Manchester City
As for the Citizens, Guardiola will welcome both Rodri and Jack Grealish back from suspension with open arms for the trip to Luton - the former's presence was sorely missed against Villa - but long-term hamstring victim Kevin De Bruyne will miss out again.
There is also a question mark surrounding the fitness of Jeremy Doku, who sat out the loss to the Lions with the knock he sustained against Tottenham last weekend, but the Belgian winger is not believed to be nursing anything serious.
Rodri's return to the XI ought to see Rico Lewis drop back down to the substitutes' bench, and Guardiola may also give consideration to a defensive recall for Nathan Ake as he desperately searches for solutions to his side's plateau.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake; Stones, Rodri; Silva, Alvarez, Foden, Grealish; Haaland
Prediction: Luton Town 0-3 Manchester City
