Manchester will have a clearer picture of their position in the title race come 5pm but the Blues could be five points off Arsenal when they kick-off at Bournemouth this evening.
Consecutive draws against Nottingham Forest and RB Leipzig in the past week have seen City twice throw away one-goal leads, with the Gunners handed the impetus thanks to their win against Aston Villa and able to pull five points clear with victory at Leicester City.
That being said, defeat at the King Power would hand Pep Guardiola's side the chance to go top and the City boss will be taking his side to the South Coast with that in mind.
