need a victory to make sure the title run is still in their hands.
City rested several big names against Sheffield United including John Stones, Rodri and Kevin de Bruyne, who all start against Arsenal.The trio have been in jaw-dropping form but a big miss for Guardiola is Nathan Ake, who did an excellent job on Bukayo Saka earlier in the season.
