Starting Sunday O'Reilly (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Arsenal.

Impact O'Reilly is back fit as expected Sunday, with the defender missing no time due to his injury scare and starting in the massively important contest. This is huge news for his club, as they gain back one of their heroes of the season thus far, a sparkplug in the attack. He will be tasked with a major role, usually involved weather playing in the defense or midfield.

Premier League title race will be 'over' if Man City loses to Arsenal, says Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says the Premier League title race will be “over” for his team if it loses to Arsenal on Sunday

APRIL 17 • Associated Press

Back fit, set to start O'Reilly (hamstring) was confirmed fit for Sunday's clash against Arsenal, according to coach Pep Guardiola. "Nico [O'Reilly] is fine."

Impact O'Reilly had been a concern after going off injured in last weekend's win, but his return to team training Tuesday and coach Pep Guardiola's clearance puts any doubts to rest heading into one of the biggest fixtures of City's season. The young left-back is expected to slot straight back into the starting lineup against the Gunners, having been one of the most important contributors to City's form this campaign. His availability is a massive boost for Guardiola as City look to take the initiative in what remains a tightly contested title race.

Joins training O'Reilly (hamstring) was back in training Tuesday, according to his club.

Impact O'Reilly would go off injured in Sunday's massive win and is now uncertain for Sunday's contest against Arsenal, but has received a massive boost, as the midfielder was in training. It is yet to be seen if this is enough for the weekend, although this is very positive. He is likely to slide right back into the starting XI if he is fit, one of the most crucial factors of the club's success this campaign.

Man City closes in on Arsenal in Premier League title race with 3-0 win over Chelsea

Manchester City issues a huge statement of intent in the race for the Premier League title with a 3-0 win at Chelsea

APRIL 12 • Associated Press

Off with hamstring injury O'Reilly was forced off the field in the 64th minute of Sunday's match against Chelsea due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Impact O'Reilly had to come off just after the hour mark, as the defender/midfielder looked to be dealing with a hamstring injury. This will be something to monitor as they head into a massive clash with Arsenal that has title implications, potentially losing one of their biggest contributors this season for the biggest match of the season. There is a chance it could be due to caution with the big match ahead, likely what much of the club is hoping for.

Four shots, no goal O'Reilly had four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against West Ham United.

Impact O'Reilly returned to his midfield role after a disaster on Wednesday in UCL play, notching four shots from his spot but not converting a goal. He will likely remain in this role moving forward and will hope for a better day in their next UCL contest, needing a big game from the midfielder to pull off the comeback.

Starts at left-back O'Reilly generated one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid.

Impact O'Reilly would start in UCL action against Real Madrid but is once again out of the midfield, playing at left-back as he did to begin the season. However, it was not his best match, constantly getting caught out too far up, eventually leading to Mardid's opener. He will likely hope to return his midfield role again in coming games, looking much better from that role.

Gets 90 in Cup win O'Reilly started and went 90 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup win against Newcastle. He finished with one shot on goal and one tackle won.

Impact O'Reilly missed one game with an ankle knock and was immediately back in the XI, going 90 in the FA Cup. He's rarely been held out this season, starting eight straight league and UCL contests before the ankle injury. He's expected to continue in his midfield role that has produced at least one shot on goal in four straight matches. Meanwhile, Rayan Ait-Nouri has been featuring at left-back where O'Reilly was playing until late January.
