Raheem Sterling will be fit for Manchester City's crunch clash against Arsenal on Sunday.

The England forward was substituted during Sunday's win over Lithuania with a back problem.

But Sterling is expected to be fully fit for the trip to the Emirates this weekend, especially after being rested for England's first game in Germany last week.

RAHEEM STERLING'S RESURGENCE AT CITY

2016-17

Appearances: 38

Goals/Assists: 9/20

2015/16:

Appearances: 47

Goals/Assists: 11/10

The news will come as a major boost to Pep Guardiola ahead of the clash against Arsene Wenger's side with Sterling becoming an integral part of his plans.

Sterling has flourished under the new Manchester City boss, striking up a potent partnership with Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane.

Following criticism for his performances at Euro 2016, the former Liverpool forward has scored nine goals and 20 assists already this season.

City currently sit third in the table - seven points clear of Arsenal - as the race for the top four heats up.
