Arsenal receives unexpected good news before the big match with Man City

Last weekend, Arsenal suffered a 0-3 defeat to Man City in the League Cup final. Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva were the ones who scored to bring the first title to “The Citizens”.

However, Man City's joy of victory was not complete when defensive midfielder Fernandinho suffered a hamstring injury and had to leave the field to make way for Bernardo Silva in the 52nd minute.

Recently, Man City confirmed that Ferdinandinho's injury is not too serious. However, the Brazilian midfielder will not be able to participate in the upcoming rematch with Arsenal in the late match of round 28 of the Premier League.

Coach Pep Guardiola admitted that Fernandinho's absence is a huge loss for Man City. However, it is good news for Arsenal fans. Since the beginning of the season, the 32-year-old star has started all 27 matches for the blue half of Manchester.

Although not outstanding in scoring ability, Fernandinho is the most difficult name to replace in the current Man City squad. Many experts say that the role of the Brazilian player is no different from Sergio Busquets at Barcelona.

Before the late match of round 28 of the Premier League, Man City is still leading with 72 points after 27 matches, 13 points more than the second-placed team MU but has played 1 match less. Meanwhile, Arsenal is in 6th place with 45 points after 27 matches, 10 points less than the 4th-placed team Tottenham and has played 1 match less.

With the current situation, Arsenal must defeat Man City to continue to hope to compete for a place in the Top 4. For their part, if they fail, coach Guardiola and his team still have a chance to win the championship. Therefore, they will enter the match with a more comfortable mentality.
