I think Arsenal has a better chance of beating Manchester City in their Premier League match on Sunday at Etihad Stadium. Three Manchester City players were injured while on international duty for England, and there are doubts about being ready for the Arsenal match. This will be an advantage for Arsenal. Arsenal will dominate most of that match because John Stones and Kyle Walker are among the injured Manchester City players.
Arsenal have to work harder, i don't think they have any better chances because i just saw this now from there Telegram channel that Kevin De Bruyne is going to be fit for Man City vs Arsenal this Sunday, Kevin De Bruyne is one of the key players that will make it difficult for Arsenal to defeat them, and i want you to remember that arsenal playing away match against the current champions which are still strong, despite arsenal had won them twice this season i don't consider it to be the same because this match is very important for both the teams to determine who will lead the league on table.

Manchester City are always ready, it doesn't matter if Kevin is ready or not, he can be substituted. Even if it will not be a full-fledged replacement for him, but they will not play worse. At least Foden can be put in his position, he will replace him perfectly. But still, if he's ready to play, the balance of power is in favour of MC for now

Kevin De Bruyne in the best shape possible being absent makes the team worse. I don't wanna come up with a % number by how much the team is worse, but what would the point be of being proud to have this exceptional player when he does not give the team some % points in extra performance? No, for me he is one of the best midifielders/midfield-wingers of all times. There is hardly any player who understood as well how to put his teammates into the perfect position to score. His assist numbers are widely unmatched. I don't know whether there is a leaderboard regarding number of assists historically, but if there is, I am sure he is to be found in the top 5 of all times. I am not sure how it would not be a loss for a team if such a player is absent.

It certainly will, but that's not what I meant. That the team will not fall apart without this player, it will also be powerful and play further, win, among other things. Maybe they won't be as efficient without this player, but they won't stop winning and won't be able to do anything without this player.
