A gigantic clash awaits the Premier League as what has been described as a title decider is set to kick off at 4:30pm UK as Arsenal travel to the Etihad stadium to face Manchester City.
The league leaders head into this fixture with a six point lead at the top and unbeaten against Manchester City in their last five meetings.
This match takes place four weeks after Arsenal’s Carabao Cup final loss to City, losing 2-0 back in March.
A win away at the Etihad today would put Arsenal within touching distance of their first Premier League title in 22 years.
But a City win would put them only three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, with a possibility they could move level on points with the Gunners by the time they next play in the league.
The home side come into this fixture in strong form, with only one loss in their last 19 league matches and are unbeaten in their last nine games.
Arsenal have lost only two of their last 30 away games in the Premier League, winning 16 and drawing 12 of those games. They haven’t lost away from home in the league since a 2-1 defeat away at Aston Villa in December.
Bukayo Saka is set to miss out with an Achilles injury, joining Mikel Merino on the injury list for Arsenal.
For City, Ruben Dias has been ruled out of today’s game with a hamstring issue, but Nico O’Reilly is available despite a muscle injury he picked up against Chelsea. Josko Gvardiol is also sidelined as he recovers from a leg fracture.
