Arsenal’s next five Premier League fixtures compared to Man City in title race
Arsenal remain strong in their bid for the Premier League title against Manchety, as they secured another 4-1 victory at home and maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, City also won 4-1 against Liverpool, despite missing key players. However, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta chose to rest Bukayo Saka due to illness and William Saliba is still recovering from a back injury.
Nonetheless, Arsenal’s winning streak continued with Gabriel Jesus playing a crucial role in their latest victory against Leeds.
Arsenal has only nine games left in the season as they try to win their first Premier League title since 2004. Arsenal Brief has analyzed the Gunners’ upcoming five games in comparison to their title competitors, City.
Liverpool (A) – Sunday, April 9
Arsenal is scheduled to play against Liverpool, but they haven’t performed well in their recent away games. They might have to secure a positive outcome in this match if they aim to become champions by the end of the season. Although Liverpool has struggled this season, they have managed to re-enter the race for a top-four finish and could pose a significant challenge for Arsenal.
West Ham (A) – Sunday, April 16
West Ham has not been performing as well as they did in recent seasons, shifting from being contenders for European competitions to battling relegation. Despite this, the team still possesses a considerable amount of talent and could create difficulties for their opponents, particularly since they will be playing on their home ground.
Southampton (H) – Friday, April 21
Arsenal’s next opponent is Southampton, who are also in danger of being relegated but have managed to keep themselves in the battle for survival under the guidance of Ruben Selles. The Saints have performed decently against the top teams in the league this season, with their most recent result being a 3-3 draw against Tottenham.
Man City (A) – Wednesday, April 26
The upcoming run of five fixtures for Arsenal culminates in a game against their rivals City, which could be a pivotal match in determining the outcome of the entire season. The result of this potential title decider could have a significant impact on the league standings. In the previous encounter, Pep Guardiola’s team emerged victorious, but the result of this fixture could be the most crucial one of all.
Chelsea (H) – Saturday, April 29
After the potential title-decider against City, Arsenal faces another significant match in the form of a London derby against Chelsea, which requires a quick turnaround for Arteta’s side. Despite spending over £600 million on new signings in the past two transfer windows, the Blues have not performed up to expectations under Graham Potter this season. Arsenal will aim to maintain their dominance in London and secure three critical points as they head into the final few fixtures of the season in May.
Manchester City’s next five fixtures:
Southampton (A) – April 8
Leicester (H) – April 15
Brighton (A) – April 23
Arsenal (H) – April 26
Fulham (H) – April 30
