EPL: Arsenal v Man City preview

Llorente and Son celebrate in the snow at Wembley

Arsenal will be out for revenge for their pathetic Carabao Cup final defeat as they host Man City.

City strolled to a 3-0 win at Wembley on Sunday, and the Premier League leaders are back in north London on Thursday for a replay of the final as they look to consolidate their position at the top of the table.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he is not worried about his future and is solely focused on Thursday's match.

"Honestly, my position is the last worry I have, my focus is to get the team ready for the game."

Pep Guardiola says City's priority remains on securing the Premier League title and insists it is not a foregone conclusion, despite their 13-point advantage and Thursday's game in hand.

"We are fighting for the most important title of the season by far - the Premier League," Guardiola said at his pre-match press conference.

"We have still to win six games and when you think about Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and our away games like Stoke, who are playing to avoid relegation [it will be hard]."

Nacho Monreal will miss the clash after sustaining an injury in Sunday's Carabao Cup final.

The Spain international was forced off in the 3-0 loss to City with a back problem, which has also ruled him out of Sunday's trip to Brighton.

Wenger has no other fresh injury concerns and can recall January signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was cup-tied at Wembley.

City are set to be without Raheem Sterling and Fernandinho for Thursday's trip. Forward Sterling is again doubtful after missing two games with a muscular problem while midfielder Fernandinho is definitely out with a hamstring strain.

Left-back Fabian Delph serves the second match of a three-game suspension while Benjamin Mendy (knee) is a long-term absentee.
