Arsenal take on Manchester City on Wednesday in a huge clash that could potentially decide the Premier League title.
The Gunners remain on top of the table, sitting five points clear of the Citizens, although the reigning champions have two games in hand on their title rivals. Mikel Arteta’s side had built a much healthier advantage but a slip in form has seen them winless in their last three outings - drawing 2-2 against Liverpool and West Ham United before a 3-3 stalemate with 20th-placed Southampton on Friday.
That disappointment against the Saints makes Wednesday’s trip to the Etihad Stadium a must-win for the north Londoners, who will be desperately hoping William Saliba makes his return to action following a back issue that has kept him out for the best part of six weeks. Ahead of the mouthwatering fixture, City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted that his squad are exhausted before claiming that momentum is more important than how tired you are.
