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.

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.Ā
