Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola have both agreed that Wednesday night's huge fixture will not decide who wins the Premier League title this season. The Gunners hold a five-point lead over the reigning champions and could take a huge step towards their first title since 2004 with a win at the Etihad Stadium.
City are in scintillating form - having won 11 of their last 12 fixtures in all competitions - and are chasing down a fifth Premier League title in six years. Guardiola's side will have two games in hand on Arsenal heading into the showdown on Wednesday evening after progressing to the FA Cup final and Champions League semi-finals.
Arteta admitted Granit Xhaka is a doubt for the trip to face City tomorrow night whilst William Saliba is set to miss the crucial fixture as he continues to recover from injury. Guardiola welcomed Phil Foden back to action at the weekend, adding to City's fierce attacking threat ahead of their game against the Gunners.
