The FIVE players ruled out of huge Man City vs Arsenal EPL title clash

Both Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola have injury concerns ahead of the big Premier League title clash between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium

The Premier League title race could all come down to what happens at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. With just a month of the season to go, the two teams in the title race go head-to-head as Manchester City take on Arsenal.

Arsenal have let their advantage slip in recent weeks. Three straight draws with Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton have seen their lead atop the Premier League table diminish to just five points, with City holding two games in hand on their rivals.

Now is their chance to re-assert their dominance though, albeit at the home of the back-to-back Premier League champions - no easy feat.

A number of players have already been ruled out through injury, with four players definitely sitting out and one other a doubt for the clash.

Here are the missing players on both teams, according to PremierInjuries.com...

Arsenal: Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Mohamed Elneny (knee), William Saliba (back), Granit Xhaka (doubt due to illness).

Man City: Nathan Ake (hamstring).

City, therefore, clearly have the edge on the injury front, with only one definitely out, although both teams will be missing key defenders for a crunch fixture.
