Manchester City welcome Arsenal to the Etihad on Wednesday in a crucial clash at a pivotal point in the season.

The blues will hope to close the gap on the league leaders who sit five points clear after some poor results. Manchester City have two games in hand and could take the title race into their own hands by securing all three points at home.

Worryingly, there had been no updates on the injured Nathan Ake whilst no journalist asked about the key City man during Peps press conference. Fans concerns were later confirmed by Pep himself as he ruled put Ake.

However, another world class option to play the position is Laporte, who has settled back into the side in the last two games after some time on the side lines.

So who will Pep go with on Wednesday?
