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.

Mitrovic received the ban after being charged with violent and improper conduct following his red card during last month's quarter-final loss to Manchester United - when he appeared to grab referee Chris Kavanagh by the arm. Of course, this means that the Serbian international won't be available for the matchup with City, something that will hugely frustrate Arsenal supporters as they anxiously hope for their title rivals to drop as many points as possible over the next two months.
Next up for the Gunners is a difficult away match against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon whilst the Citizens take on bottom-of-the-league Southampton on Saturday.
