Six days before visiting Real Madrid in the semifinals (first leg) of the Champions League, Manchester City now have one of their two remaining Premier League games back with the aim of beating West Ham at the Etihad and regaining the lead they took yesterday of Arsenal away. The ‘hammers’ are 4 points from relegation.
City took the lead on Sunday with their victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage (1-2), but yesterday Arsenal closed the 34th day to reclaim first place after beating Chelsea in the London derby (3-1). They are two points ahead of City, but they have two games in hand while the Gunners have four left to play.
Kevin DeBruyne, with discomfort since Wednesday’s City-Arsenal (4-1), he will be out again today after missing Friday’s trip against Fulham. Pep Guardiola revealed that the Belgian also did not train yesterday morning and limited himself by saying “he started to move”. Who has recovered from the muscle injury he sustained on April 8 is Nathan Ake.
