<h2>The 2023-2024 Premier League game between Manchester City and Arsenal on Sunday, March 31, might be coming too early for <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/18/pep-guardiola-calls-manchester-city-vs-arsenal-epl-clash-a-final/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coach Pep Guardiola</a> and his boys.</h2>
<p>Manchester City and Arsenal are two of the major contenders for the Premier League title which means that the game is like a final for the two clubs.</p>
<p>Arsenal are going into the matchday 30 Premier League encounter on top of the league table, a point above third-placed Manchester City. This means that if City win and second-placed Liverpool lose to Brighton at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Pep Guardiola will end the weekend on top of the league table.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for Pep Guardiola, Manchester City are going into the league game with a series of injuries woes mostly from the just concluded FIFA international break.</p>
<p>Three Manchester City key players, defensive trio Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Manuel Akanji ended the international break with different degrees of injuries. They are likely to miss the top-of-the-table clash if they are not certified fit before Saturday.</p>
<p>Walker sustained a hamstring injury during England's 1-0 defeat to Brazil on March 23, while Stone suffered an injury in England's 2-2 draw with Belgium on March 26.</p>
<p>As for Akanji, he suffered a knock while on international duty with Switzerland. He returned to the Etihad earlier than expected to commence his recuperation.</p>
<p>The aforementioned players are expected to undergo further examination to determine their availability for the clash at Etihad on Sunday which will kick off at 4:30 p.m.</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola could also be without Ederson, Kevin de Bruyne, and Jack Grealish who are still battling to return to full fitness long before the international break.</p>
