Manchester City host Arsenal in a Premier League title-race defining match at the Etihad on Sunday, live on Sky Sports - but key players are facing a race to be fit in time for the contest.

With Arsenal leading Liverpool at the top of the standings on goal difference and City just a point further back, the game between City and Arsenal is a hotly-anticipated and crucial contest.

There was a double blow for City's England defenders, with Kyle Walker and John Stones both forced off with injury while away with the Three Lions.

Walker limped off during the first half of Saturday's defeat to Brazil with what was later described as a tight hamstring. The issue was initially not thought to be too serious, however on Wednesday it was announced he would be having a scan and is rated 50-50 to face Arsenal.However, Stones' situation is less clear. After Tuesday's draw against Belgium, England boss Southgate suggested it was an adductor issue in his groin but the City defender didn't look comfortable when he had to make way just nine minutes into the game. He later told Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett he was not sure if he would be fit to face Arsenal.
