Comparing Arsenal’s toughest Premier League fixtures to those of Liverpool and Manchester City in the crucial title race – Can Mikel Arteta lead his team to victory if they can overcome these challenges?

 

The Premier League action over the weekend didn’t bring any major surprises, especially at the top of the table. Following Arsenal and Manchester City’s victories, the standings remain closely contested, with most teams having played 26 matches.

 

With only 12 games left to play, the gap between the first and third positions is a mere two points, setting the stage for an intense and thrilling season finale. Despite the winter lull, Arsenal shows no signs of slowing down, having secured five consecutive wins and netting an impressive 25 goals in the process.

 

Manchester City’s recent match against Chelsea revealed a vulnerability in their defense, but they quickly bounced back and displayed their dominance against Bournemouth. Both teams were under pressure to respond after Liverpool closed the gap to just four points with their victory over Luton in the second half.

 

Now, it’s a captivating battle between the title contenders as they take turns to showcase their strengths and make a case for being the favorites. Liverpool and Arsenal are consistently finding the back of the net, while Pep Guardiola’s champions are impressively navigating through matches without conceding a single goal.

 

The goal difference has undergone a significant change as well. Although Liverpool holds a points advantage, they are trailing Arsenal by a staggering 38 goals. City, on the other hand, due to their inefficiency in the attacking third, maintain a goal difference of +33. As European football returns to the forefront and the season approaches its climax, this is where the title could be won or lost.

 

Here are the five most challenging matches left for Arsenal:

 

1. Brighton (Away) – Scheduled for 6th April.

2. Chelsea (Home) – Set to take place on 16th March.

3. Tottenham (Away) – Scheduled for 27th April.

4. Manchester United (Away) – Set to take place on 11th May.

5. Manchester City (Away) – Scheduled for 31st March.

 

Arsenal’s remaining fixtures pose a significant challenge for the team. The upcoming matches against Brighton, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Manchester City will test their mettle. The clash against City at the end of March stands out as a crucial game, but the encounters with Chelsea and Tottenham are equally important. It is worth noting that Guardiola’s side will face Manchester United before their showdown with Arsenal.

 

Meanwhile, Liverpool also faces tough matches against Everton and City. However, Arsenal seems to have a relatively favorable schedule at the moment. The real challenge lies in the final stretch of the season for Mikel Arteta’s men. They must capitalize on their rivals’ potential slip-ups in the coming weeks and strive to establish an advantageous position at the top of the standings.

 

Manchester City’s most challenging five remaining matches are as follows:

 

1. Brighton (Away) – Scheduled for 17 March

2. Manchester United (Home) – Scheduled for 3 March

3. Tottenham (Away) – Scheduled for 20 April

4. Liverpool (Away) – Scheduled for 10 March

5. Arsenal (Home) – Scheduled for 31 March

 

Analysis: The month of March will be crucial for Manchester City. If Guardiola’s team can maintain their form in April, it will be difficult for any other team to snatch the title away from them. However, City must take advantage of their tough run of games and the international break to build a significant lead. If they can do so, it may render any late-season challenges from their rivals too little, too late.

 

Liverpool’s toughest five remaining matches are as follows:

 

1. Everton (Away) – Scheduled for 17 March

2. Aston Villa (Away) – Scheduled for 11 May

3. Tottenham (Home) – Scheduled for 4 May

4. Manchester United (Away) – Scheduled for 6 April

5. Manchester City (Home) – Scheduled for 10 March

 

Analysis: Liverpool remains a formidable opponent. They have already secured one trophy this season and the influence of Klopp cannot be underestimated. Their remaining fixtures are tougher than City’s, especially considering their Europa League commitments. However, at present, Liverpool is expected to continue their strong performance. The home matches against City and Spurs provide a slightly more favorable outlook for them.
