Arsenal's early exit from this season's FA Cup could prove beneficial before the end of the month with regard to the Premier League title race.
The Gunners were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium towards the end of January as manager Mikel Arteta ultimately paid the price for naming a slightly weakened team with Nathan Ake's goal proving to be the difference between the two sides in the fourth-round tie.
As a result, it was the 2019 winners that faced Championship outfit Bristol City on Tuesday night and they made light work of the fixture with a brace from Phil Foden and a goal from Kevin De Bruyne sealing a 3-0 win at Ashton Gate to confirm Man City's place in the FA Cup quarter-final.
