Arsenal and Manchester City are set to go head-to-head in a huge Premier League clash on Wednesday night that could effectively decide who wins the title race. The Gunners sit five points clear of the reigning champions heading into the game at the Etihad Stadium, but Pep Guardiola's side have two games in hand on the north London outfit.
Mikel Arteta's side have seen their lead at the top of the table cut down significantly in recent weeks after drawing each of their last three fixtures against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton. Arsenal look set to be without Granit Xhaka and William Saliba for the huge clash against City and face a monumental task in keeping Erling Haaland quiet.
Arteta has taken a lot of what he learnt from Guardiola into his managerial role at the Emirates Stadium and faces his former mentor once again tomorrow night with their teams challenging for the Premier League title. The Gunners can take a huge step towards lifting their first title since 2004 with a win on Wednesday night which would see them move eight points clear with five games left to play for them.
