Arsenal and Manchester City are still battling it out head-to-head for the Premier League title this season, with plenty of games to go before a conclusion is reached.
The Gunners currently sit two points clear of their rivals, with one game in hand after City played on Saturday evening.
The Citizens earned a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday as Erling Haaland’s late penalty proved to be the deciding factor.
Mikel Arteta will be looking for his side to respond on Sunday as they make the short trip across London to face Fulham, who have been in top form so far this season.
With just over ten games remaining in the Premier League this season, there will be plenty of twists and turns left before a conclusion is reached. With that said, here’s a look at the next five fixtures Manchester City have as they look to chase down Arsenal in the title race
Liverpool (H – April 1)
With some cup action coming up next for Manchester City, their Premier League return won’t be until early April in a clash that will be far from easy.
The Citizens host a Liverpool side that have been inconsistent at best this season, summed up perhaps by their 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United being followed up by a 1-0 defeat to Bourmemouth.
It could be a tie that plays a huge part in the title race, with the Gunners also facing the Reds, but away at Anfield.
Southampton (A – April 9)
After that game is a trip to the south coast to face off with relegation strugglers Southampton, who currently occupy bottom of the Premier League.
They are far from down and out though, only three points away from climbing out of the bottom three and capable of pulling off a shock result.
Leicester City (H – April 16)
Leicester are on the cards after that, with the Foxes facing struggles of their own this campaign, just one point above the drop zone.
Brendan Rodgers’ men are in poor form, having lost four out of their last five and in desperate need of finding a win with some of the quality they have in their ranks.
Brighton (A – April 23)
A far from easy test is then on the cards as City have to travel to Brighton and face a side that have been rampant under new boss Roberto De Zerbi.
The Seagulls find themselves seventh and in contention for European football, capable of causing any side in the league some problems.
Arsenal (H – April 26)
To end it off is the big one. A head-to-head between the two league leaders is billed for late April that could well decide the fate of the whole Premier League title race.
City managed a victory at the Emirates Stadium in February, but this six-pointer could have even more significance just weeks from the end of the campaign.
