Manchester City defender Ruben Dias has been ruled out of the Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The Cityzens are currently six points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand. They can get their destiny in their own hands by beating the Gunners at home this weekend.
Ahead of the game, Man City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that the club will continue to be without Dias, who sustained a hamstring injury earlier last month.
The Portuguese has not recovered from the setback. In his absence, Marc Guehi and Abdukodir Khusanov are expected to form the heart of the defence against the Gunners.
Man City ended their recent winless run against Arsenal by beating them in the Carabao Cup final. Left-back Nico O'Reilly scored a brace in that game, and he is fit to play again.
The Englishman suffered a hamstring injury scare against Chelsea last weekend, but Guardiola has confirmed that he is fine and fit to face the Gunners at home on Sunday.
