Arsenal face Manchester City on Wednesday night in the biggest Premier League game of the season so far, and Erling Haaland could now miss the match due to injury.

The 22-year-old striker came off at half-time with a suspected thigh problem in City’s 3-1 win against Aston Villa as per the Daily Mail, with the striker assisting Ilkay Gundogan in what could be a huge result for the Etihad Stadium side.

With Arsenal, wrongly, drawing against Brentford on Saturday, a win for City on Wednesday can now send the Manchester side ahead of the Gunners in the Premier League standings on goal difference for the first time this season.
