Pep Guardiola admits Manchester City will have an "advantage" when they face Arsenal on an extra day's rest, but the champions are sweating on Kevin De Bruyne's fitness for the crucial clash with their title rivals.

Pep Guardiola admits he feels ‘so sorry’ for Martin Odegaard with the Arsenal captain set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Mikel Arteta confirmed earlier this week that his skipper’s ankle injury was ‘significant’ and it is reported that he will be in the treatment room for the next eight weeks.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has not yet been ruled out of Sunday’s crunch Premier League game with Arsenal. The Belgium international was taken off at half-time in Wednesday night’s goalless draw against Inter due to a groin problem but Pep Guardiola says he could still be available for the visit of the Gunners.
