Pep Guardiola will now be hoping to welcome back English forward Jack Grealish and Dutch Leftback Nathan Ake for their huge Premier League clash against Spurs on Tuesday night.
The citizens piled the pressure on Arsenal early on Saturday with a commanding 4-0 away win against poor Fulham to move temporarily top of the table with just one point ahead of the gunners.
However, Arsenal responded with a wonderful display to beat Manchester United 1-0 the following day and ensure that the topsy-turvy title race will go to the final day of the season.

Pep Guardiola’s side, though, have a game in hand and can move two points clear of their title rivals heading into the final weekend should they beat Tottenham on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side are set to be dealt a double injury boost, with Grealish and Ake returning to training ahead of the trip down to London.
Jack Grealish missed Saturday’s clash with Fulham due to illness, while Ake limped off in the first half after suffering a foot injury, but Guardiola confirmed that both are in contention to return on Tuesday.
“Jack has recovered from illness and Nathan was much better yesterday”…. he told reporters at his pre-match press conference on Monday.
