Ake for their huge Premier League clash with Tottenham on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>City piled the pressure on Arsenal early on Saturday with a commanding 4-0 away win against Fulham to move temporarily top of the table.<\/p>\n<p>However, Arsenal produced a gutsy display to beat Manchester United 1-0 the following day and ensure that the topsy-turvy title race will go to the final day of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Pep Guardiola\u2019s side, though, have a game in hand and can move two points clear of their title rivals heading into the final weekend should they beat Tottenham on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>And the defending champions are set to be dealt a double injury boost, with Grealish and Ake returning to training ahead of the trip down to London.<\/p>\n<p>Grealish missed Saturday\u2019s clash with Fulham due to illness, while Ake limped off in the first half after suffering a foot injury, but Guardiola confirmed that both are in contention to return on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Jack has recovered from illness and Nathan was much better yesterday,\u2019 he told reporters at his pre-match press conference on Monday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\" img-container
