Manchester City need a win against Arsenal to stay relevant in the English Premier League title race. A shock defeat at the hands of Newcastle United spoilt the fun for Pep Guardiola’s men but Liverpool failed to capitalize completely. The defending champions trail the Reds by five points and must prevent the gap to widen even further. The Gunners have different agenda on their arrival at the blue half of Manchester. They are embroiled in a close contest with Manchester United and Chelsea for the Champions League place and any points dropped gives them ground to gain. Manchester City vs Arsenal - Live Football Score.

Ederson is a major doubt for Manchester City after suffering a knee injury in the 2-1 defeat at Tyneside. The goalkeeper is a major part of the squad and if he fails to make to the playing eleven, Aro Muric will have to guard his team’s posts in one of the most high profile games. Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy are definitely out for City as they continue to their rehab post-injury. Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Fernandinho will make the midfield three which can be almost unplayable against for the opposition. Sergio Aguero has a great goal scoring record against the Gunners and the Argentine will love to add to his tally.

Laurent Koscielney should start for Arsenal after his injury scare against Manchester United where he took a whack to his face from Romelu Lukaku. Two big names in Sokratis and Hector Bellerin are out for a while with long injury lay-offs. Aaron Ramsey who failed to find a club in the winter transfer window should start again as there is no place in the side for Mesut Ozil. The German is not in the scheme of things of manager Unai Emery and looks likely to depart in summer. Arsenal’s prolific strikers Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette may not see much of the ball and need to make any opportunity that comes to their way count. Manchester City have won their last three games Arsenal and should make it four in a row without breaking much sweat.
