Manchester City title advantage Arsenal will have to overcome to claim Premier League crown

Following Phil Foden's return to training earlier this week it emerged that Manchester City currently have no first team injuries to contend with.

A fully fit squad could not come at a much better time for Pep Guardiola, as they prepare for an intense Premier League run-in, a highly likely Champions League semi-final, and a place in the FA Cup last four. While Arsenal remain in only one competition, injuries are certainly hitting Mikel Arteta's side harder at present.

The Gunners have been without William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu for over a month, while Mohamed Elneny is a long-term absentee. On the face of it, three injuries does not sound too damaging, but the absence of Saliba in particular is seriously harming Arsenal's push for the title, as they have squandered two-goal leads in each of their last two matches.
