The chasing champions host the languishing leaders in the most highly-anticipated game of the Premier League calendar on Wednesday night, as Manchester City take on Arsenal in a top-of-the-table spectacular at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's men eased past Sheffield United 3-0 to reach the FA Cup final over the weekend, prior to which the Gunners dropped more points in the title race in a 3-3 draw with Southampton. Given how crucial Saliba is to Arsenal's defensive and offensive style, his absence means that things could get ugly for the Gunners on Wednesday night, and fast.
The return of Xhaka will at least mean that Arsenal's midfield should not get bypassed in the manner that it did against Southampton, but the Man City side just cannot stop scoring

周三晚上，英超最受期待的一场比赛将在阿提哈德球场上演，争夺冠军的曼城将迎战阿森纳，这是一场积分榜上最精彩的比赛。
上周末，瓜迪奥拉的球队以3-0轻松击败谢菲尔德联队，进入足总杯决赛。在此之前，枪手以3-3战平南安普顿，在冠军争夺战中丢了更多分。考虑到萨里巴对阿森纳的防守和进攻风格有多么重要，他的缺席意味着周三晚上枪手的情况可能会变得很糟糕，而且很快。
扎卡的回归至少意味着阿森纳的中场不会像对阵南安普顿时那样被绕过，但曼城无法停止进球
