Man City duo Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan issue warning to Arsenal ahead of key Premier League clash

Manchester City star Rodri has issued a warning to Arsenal ahead of their potentially huge Premier League title-deciding clash against the Gunners on Wednesday. City were able to close the gap to the league leaders down to just three points after they beat Aston Villa 3-1 - 24 hours after Arsenal's draw against Brentford.

Pep Guardiola's side were unable to take advantage of Arsenal's defeat to Everton last weekend as they were beaten by Tottenham, however lightning did not strike twice for the reigning champions and now a win against Mikel Arteta's men on Wednesday will take them top of the league on goal difference.

First half goals from Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez saw City stroll to victory at Etihad Stadium against Villa, although there is some concern emerging from Manchester with top scorer Erling Haaland subbed off at half time with an injury.
