Only one of Manchester City or Arsenal can reach the FA Cup fifth round – but there’ll be loads of knockouts in the stands.
The Premier League title rivals are fighting tooth and nail to lift the trophy come the end of the season. But those ambitions will be put on pause as City host the Gunners in cup competition at the Etihad this evening (January 27).
Both are in with a shout of silverware thanks to their star-studded squads – and while they’re impressing on the pitch week-in, week-out, they’re backed up by an equally impressive collection of WAGs who wow fans in a different way.

City midfielder Bernardo Silva struck up a romance with bikini model Ines Tomaz when he returned to his native Portugal in 2020 amid lockdown.
The pair have been cosying up to each other on social media ever since and got engaged in May while on their summer holiday.
Ines was overjoyed as she shared the news to her 132k Instagram followers, posting: “Forever YES. My endless love.”

Oleksandr Zinchenko and his wife Vlada will be returning to familiar surroundings with the left-back facing his former side for the first time since leaving last summer.
They’ve both quickly become fan favourites at the Emirates in recent months. Vlada instantly won over supporters by donning their kit and a red mini-skirt, while her Instagram bio reads: “London is red.”
In their homeland of Ukraine, she works as a TV presenter and journalist. Having got married in August 2020, they welcomed a baby daughter a year later.

The other half of Ilkay Gundogan, Sara is a stunning Italian model who quickly fell in love with the Germany international after they met in 2020.
They got engaged in December 2021 after Gundogan popped the question in a heavily decorated hotel room covered in romantic balloons and roses.
After tying the knot last year, Sara sparked controversy when she complained about Manchester’s lack of good food options. She wrote: “Sorry, I’m sad to be honest but nothing. I tried so bad to find a good restaurant but horrible food everywhere.”

Arsenal’s trio of Gabriel’s – Jesus, Martinelli and Magalhaes – have been stealing the headlines, but there’s a fourth who’s been lighting up north London off the pitch.
Gabrielle Figueiredo, who began dating her fellow Brazilian Magalhaes in 2020, leaves jaws on the floor with her Insta uploads to 114k followers.
When she’s not travelling around the world, she’s also raising their first child Maya, who she gave birth to last year.

Riyad Mahrez has been in a rich vein of form since the season resumed after the World Cup – and he’s not the only one on fire in his relationship.
The City winger has blonde bombshell Taylor on his arm. Over 2million people keep up-to-date on social media with the reality TV star, who appeared in Real Housewives of Cheshire alongside her mum Dawn and former footballer dad Ashley.
Mahrez met her in 2020 after she’d been linked with ex-team-mate Sergio Aguero. They’ve since married in a secret Islamic ceremony and welcomed a baby girl.
Filipa Brandao

It’s been a tough season for right-back Cedric, who’s fallen down the defensive pecking order behind Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
But at least he’s safe in the knowledge he can go home to scorching wife Filipa, who has been by his side since his Southampton days in 2015.
She’s his biggest supporter, barring their young daughter who also cheers him on from the sidelines.

It’s not been easy going for Jack Grealish since he joined City in 2021 – much like his on-off romance with Sasha Attwood.
Since meeting as teenagers in their Solihull school, they have endured a rocky relationship. But they now appear to be stronger than ever.
Sasha is excelling in her modelling career which was kickstarted when she was just 13, having worked with the likes of Boohoo in recent years.
Twerk Queen

The newest addition to Arsenal’s WAGs line-up is perhaps the most impressive – a Twerk Queen who hosts the annual championships in her native Poland.
Claudia Redheaded, who’s followed Gunners new boy Jakub Kiwior to England following his arrival from Spezia, was crowned the winner of the Queen of Germany Twerk Competition in 2017 and made the semi-finals of the European Championship in 2018.
Her raunchy Insta uploads, which regularly show her shaking her bum and contorting her slim figure, have certainly caught the attention of the Emirates faithful.
