Notes: The formation above, display the team in defensive phase, but it morphed into a 3-2-2-3/3-6-1 almost consistently everytime Manchester City retrieved the ball possession from Arsenal
Stones withdraw injured at the 47th minute of the first half, but Laporte wasn't ready yet to play as he still had his training wear, the team played for a full minute with Rodrigo as right CB and De Bruyne with Gündoğan as CMFs
With Laporte on the pitch, he played as left CB, this relocated Akanji as right CB
Walker played as a pure RB/RWB
Álvarez played as SS alongside Haaland, this relocated De Bruyne as a some kind of right AMF/RWF
