[Gabriel Jesus](/people/gabriel-jesus/) has stepped up his recovery from a knee injury, but the former Man City forward is still a few weeks away from returning to the first-team fold, while [Mohamed Elneny](/people/mohamed-elneny/) is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery last month. [John Stones](/people/john-stones/) remains sidelined for the rest of this month with a hamstring injury, while the Premier League's top scorer [Erling Braut Haaland](/people/erling-braut-haaland/) has emerged as a doubt after coming off at half time in the win over Villa with a "big knock". The Citizens have enjoyed their recent visits to the red side of North London as they have won each of their last six away matches against Arsenal across all competitions, and such a record along with the prospect of climbing to the top of the table, albeit on goal difference, is sure to motivate Guardiola's side in their quest for victory on Wednesday.

Arsenal had a player sent off in both of their Premier League meetings vs Manchester City last season (Granit Xhaka and Gabriel) and could match the record of three successive games like they did against Newcastle between 2010 and 2011. And whilst this has been a first season of adapting to the Premier League following his move from River Plate, it hasn’t helped that he’s found himself playing a variety of attacking midfield positions as Guardiola looks to make all the pieces of his puzzle fit. The last 22 Premier League games that Man City have played on a Wednesday… He could join Andy Carroll (Liverpool and Newcastle) and Darren Bent (Aston Villa and Sunderland) as the only players to score for two different clubs in the same Premier League campaign against City. Win here and Pep Guardiola’s side will vault themselves into top spot in the league table, albeit it on goal difference and having played a game more. In many ways, his strike epitomises the style of play that Arsenal have sought this season. Some of these have been forced by injuries to the likes of Mohamed Elneny and Gabriel Jesus, and while continuity is of course a good thing, it’s come with the fear that the side might be beginning to suffer from burnout. However, they are unbeaten in their last 13 home league games having made the Emirates somewhat of a fortress this season. Will we see Arteta pick the same starting XI for a club-record seventh Premier League game in succession? It’s 10 in a row for the Citizens, the longest losing run against an opponent in the Gunners league history. It was their second successive away defeat in the competition (having lost against Man Utd a few weeks before) having previously lost just one between September 2021 and January 2023. But victory came at a cost with John Stones forced off with a hamstring problem which will rule the England international out of Wednesday’s game and maybe another two weeks.

Arsenal are set to host Manchester City in the Premier League, but both teams will be doing UEFA a favour when the pair meet on Wednesday.

Arsenal vs City will take place on the same day as the Champions League last-16 stage However, that meant that both Arsenal and City had to agree to move their showdown to another date - with the original set to take place just one day before. UEFA is normally against the idea of having a Premier League game on the same day as the Champions League. The highly-anticipated showdown will take place during same evening as the [Arsenal ](/sport/teampages/arsenal.html)will host Pep Guardiola's [Manchester City](/sport/teampages/manchester-city.html) this evening in a huge game for the title race - but many fans will be puzzled by the date of the clash. - Arsenal will host Man City in a massive game for the Premier League title race

On Wednesday, Arsenal and Manchester City square off in a match that will have a significant impact on the Premier League title battle.

Even if Manchester City are barely capable of uprooting trees on their own, an easy victory against Aston Villa allowed them to rebound from a lacklustre loss at Tottenham. After the game, Pep Guardiola acknowledged that the striker experienced “a kick” and withdrew in order to avoid taking a chance. [Manchester City](https://khelnow.com/tag/manchester-city/) are seeking to win their fifth [Premier League](https://khelnow.com/football/category/premier-league) title in six years amidst a litany of allegations over suspected Financial Fair Play infractions, the Gunners have held the top spot in the standings since early November as they seek to capture their first league title in nearly two decades. As they go ready for their greatest test so far, Arsenal has no new injury concerns. His confidence is admirable, as is the way he draws fouls and overcomes opponents in 1v1 situations. Grealish has excelled for City despite not having an easy time at Man City.
