The champions go into the game 14 points behind leaders Liverpool, after losing 2-1 to Manchester United last weekend.

Manchester City will be without Sergio Aguero and John Stones, for Sunday’s Premier League game with Arsenal.

David Silva is also doubtful for the match at The Emirates.

“(Stones) has a muscular injury.

“I don’t know how long. (Aguero) still hasn’t trained with the team.

“(Silva) couldn’t train yesterday or today but tomorrow we will see.

“It was a kick in the leg that was painful,” Head coach PepGuardiola told a press conference on Friday.
