Man City vs Arsenal live team news and updates from Premier League title race clash

It's a big day in the Premier League title race, as Manchester City and Arsenal go up against each other at the Etihad Stadium (4.30pm kick off, UK time).

Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta were once close colleagues at City but are now title rivals, with Arteta looking to dethrone his former mentor, as Arsenal chase a first league win in two decades.

City, of course, are looking to become the first ever side to win four successive Premier League titles. Not even the great United teams of Sir Alex Ferguson managed that feat.

City go into this game just one point behind Arsenal, with Liverpool level on points at the top of the table with the Gunners (before their game against Brighton earlier in the day). They may have to do it without Kevin de Bruyne who is among Guardiola's injury doubts for today's clash.

Happy Easter Sunday - hope you all got a visit from the Easter bunny today.

City players will have been keeping off the chocolate eggs this weekend so far, as they prepare for today's monster clash with Arsenal. As Premier League games go, it couldn't be much bigger.
