Manchester City fans have shared their surprise that Riyad Mahrez missed out on the starting XI against Arsenal. The Algerian netted a hat-trick in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final win over Sheffield United but was named on the bench for Wednesday's potential title-decider.
Going into the crunch clash, Arsenal dropped six points in their last three matches while the Blues have won their last six league outings. A win for the hosts would mean they would take the title race solely into their own hands.
City are without Nathan Ake for the match with the Dutchman ruled out through injury, while the visitors have travelled without William Saliba. Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Ederson and Ruben Dias were all rested in the FA Cup semi-final.
