Manchester City face Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon as they look to put pressure on their title rivals.
The reigning champions are currently third in an incredibly tight three-horse title race, but could capitalise on potential dropped points this weekend when Arsenal face Aston Villa and Liverpool host Crystal Palace.
The Cityzens were in action midweek and drew 3-3 in a thrilling Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid, with Pep Guardiola perhaps having one eye on the return fixture this coming Wednesday.
An injury-hit Luton will not be relishing a trip to the Etihad, a venue where no away team has won this season. The Hatters were hammered 6-2 in the FA Cup in the most recent meeting between the sides, conceding five to Erling Haaland.

Guardiola has a few absentees to contend with ahead of Luton’s visit but he should be able to welcome back Kevin De Bruyne, who missed the Champions League clash on Tuesday through sickness.
