Manchester City handed huge injury boost ahead of Arsenal Premier League title decider

Manchester City star Phil Foden has returned to training after recovering from an injury just a week before a potential Premier League title-deciding clash against Arsenal. The Gunners are currently four points ahead of City but have the chance to extend their lead to seven points if they beat Southampton on Friday night.

Pep Guardiola's side will head into the huge clash against the north Londoners at the Etihad Stadium with two games in hand due to their FA Cup involvement this weekend. City will take on Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarter-final second-leg on Wednesday night holding a 3-0 advantage following a brilliant first-leg performance.

Foden has not been available for selection in City's last four matches across all competitions but he has hardly been missed given their brilliant run of form - winning 10 games in a row. The England international's return will boost Guardiola's options and ability to rotate his squad to deal with their busy fixture schedule - whilst Arsenal's only focus is on the Premier League title race.
