Arsenal and Manchester City are currently locked in a hugely entertaining Premier League title race.
The north Londoners currently sit eight points clear of second-placed City with just nine fixtures to go, although Pep Guardiola's side have ten to play. One of those games left for the Citizens is a match against Fulham at the end of the month.
The Cottagers have enjoyed a solid first season back in the English top-flight after earning promotion last term, sitting tenth - above London rivals Chelsea in eleventh. However, Marco Silva and co will be without talisman for eight games, a major blow considering he has netted 11 goals in just 21 league outings.
