Who is Manchester City’s game in-hand against after Arsenal title race blow
Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool prevented Arsenal from regaining their eight-point advantage at the top of the Premier League standings.
Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus gave the Gunners a 2-0 lead in the first half after Mikel Arteta’s team had gotten off to the fastest start. Liverpool refused to concede defeat, and Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino scored to tie the score.
The draw means that the Gunners are now only six points ahead of Man City with eight games remaining, although Pep Guardiola’s team has an extra match to play.
Due to their participation in the FA Cup, the reigning champions have played 28 games, one fewer than Arsenal. The Citizens will face Manchester United in the semi-final at Wembley later this month and still have a chance to win their first UEFA Champions League title.
Man City’s scheduled trip to Brighton’s AMEX Stadium later this month has yet to be rescheduled and will serve as a make-up game. On May 3, City will host West Ham at the Etihad Stadium for their next scheduled game.
