Champions League Hangover for City?
Depending on the result of Wednesday's massive match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the UEFA Champions League, City will enter Sunday's clash with a variety of emotions. Win or lose, it's never easy to flip the switch after a massive knockout match in Europe.
The Citizens lead rivals United by four points, but as the Red Devils still have a match in hand, manager Manuel Pellegrini's troops have to finish the season strong. Balancing a European campaign with the league is never easy, and this clash with Arsenal couldn't have come at a worse time.
Arsenal have drawn three of their last five matches, but a win over City would secure a top-four finish, and Sunday's match is crucial for the Gunners.
The majority of the fans backed manager Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium during the planned protests on Saturday, but given the pessimistic atmosphere currently surrounding the club, a positive result at the Etihad Stadium would be a major boost for Wenger, who apologised for the way the 2015-16 campaign has played out after the win over Norwich, per Goal's Dejan Kalinic:
"I give my best for this club.
You don't spend so many years at a club – like Sir Alex Ferguson spent 26 – without every minute of your time, you give your whole life for that and try to do as well as possible.
One target is to keep 100 percent of people happy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do that this season.
"
City's bench showed clear signs of weakness during the 4-2 loss against Southampton, and with Real expected to turn Wednesday's clash into a marathon, there's a good chance City's top stars will still have heavy legs come Sunday.
Combined with the emotional hangover from a win or a loss at the Bernabeu, the stage is set for Arsenal to come away with a big win, securing a top-four finish in the process.
Can Spurs Rebound Against Southampton?
Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Monday was an ugly affair filled with rash tackles, a handful of incidents and, of course, the late drama that saw Eden Hazard equalise and Leicester win the title.
Goal's Mohammed Ali thinks Spurs can expect a letter from the Football Association, with several players potentially joining the suspended Dele Alli on the sidelines:
Tottenham have locked up a top-four finish and a spot in next year's Champions League, but the team still has one more major objective left in the 2015-16 campaign: finishing above Arsenal in the standings.
St. Totteringham's Day has become a source of constant pain and frustration for Spurs fans, who have been forced to watch the Gunners finish ahead of their team every single season since 1995.
A win over Southampton would just about end Arsenal's hopes of catching up with their rivals, especially with the City clash taking place just a few hours later. But Saints have been in excellent form of late, winning three of their last four, and the team could still qualify for next year's UEFA Europa League.
Spurs' final opponents of the 2015-16 season could also prove tricky, as Newcastle might be battling for their Premier League lives at St. James' Park on the final matchday.
Per ESPN FC's Michael Caley, Spurs' odds of finishing ahead of Arsenal still look solid:
"Chances of St. Totteringham's Day not happening are still running at 94%.

But manager Mauricio Pochettino will have to work with his squad this week, making sure they overcome Monday's draw and are ready to face Saints with several key starters possibly ineligible to play.
