'It is what is': Pep Guardiola rules out two Man City stars for Arsenal clash

Man City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kyle Walker and John Stones will not be able to play against Arsenal.

He simply revealed this with a comment 'It is what it is', but seemed to hint that goalkeeper Ederson should be fit.

Despite that, Man City still have a really strong squad and players who are more than capable of slotting into their backline against the Gunners.

Arsenal are themselves also sweating on the fitness of players like Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka ahead of the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

A win against Man City can not only help the Gunners retain their place at the top of the Premier League table, but provide a huge boost to their title aspirations.
