Manchester City take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday night looking to boost their chances of securing second position in the standings.
After City suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Sunday, Liverpool now require just two more victories to secure the top-flight crown.
As well as the three-day turnaround, manager Pep Guardiola also has a number of injury concerns to contend with ahead of welcoming the Gunners to the North-West.

Despite having spent a number of weeks involved in first-team training, Sane is still to make his long-awaited return from a serious knee injury. With 57 minutes having been played in a second-string game, it now remains up to Guardiola when the Germany international features in a senior match.
