Arsenal fans have taken to social media and are reacting to the news that Manchester City will be without Kevin De Bruyne for Saturday's Premier League clash.
The Gunners can move eight points clear of Pep Guardiola's side with victory in the day's late kick-off.
And their chances of recording a rare win at the Etihad Stadium has been boosted with confirmation that City will be without their creative talisman after he picked up a knock on international duty.
"Everyone came back [fit]," Guardiola revealed at his pre-match press conference.
"They came back better than the previous time before because the previous time Bernardo, Cancelo and another one were injured.
"Unfortunately, Kevin is out, but the rest of the players came back well.
"I don't think it is much, but the next games I think he will be out."
It remains to be seen how Guardiola replaces De Bruyne against the Gunners as he does have several central midfielders to choose from.
However, given how important the Belgium international is, some Arsenal fans are now fancying their chances of getting a positive result.

With that said, it's not all bad news for Guardiola as Sergio Aguero, who has been out of action since June, has now recovered in time to feature against Arsenal on Saturday evening.
After suffering a significant knee injury during the extended season of last, Aguero travelled to Barcelona to receive treatment from Dr. Ramón Cugat, the expert who revived his hopes of featuring in the 2018 World Cup.
And Dr. Cugat appears to have worked his magic again with TYC Sports reporting Aguero confirmed his recovery and his availability for the Arsenal game in the launch of his new E-Sports team this week.
