Arsenal's commanding lead at the top of the Premier League was reduced to six points after Manchester City's dramatic late victory against Liverpool on Sunday. The Citizens' thrilling 2-1 comeback has injected new life into the title race, with both teams now setting their sights on the remaining 13 games.**
Arsenal, who had been on a roll with comfortable back-to-back wins since their loss to Manchester United last month, will be looking to maintain their momentum. However, City manager Pep Guardiola has vowed to keep the pressure on, aiming to capitalise on any potential slip-ups from the Gunners.
"All we can do is breathe down the neck of Arsenal and (continue) being there," Guardiola stated. "Try if they go asleep, if they make a mistake, to use it."
So, what does the title race landscape look like in the coming weeks? Here's a comparison of the next five Premier League fixtures for both sides:
**Arsenal's upcoming fixtures:**
- February 12: Brentford (A)
- February 18: Wolves (A)
- February 22: Tottenham (A)
- March 1: Chelsea (H)
- March 4: Brighton (A)
**Manchester City's upcoming fixtures:**
- February 11: Fulham (H)
- February 21: Newcastle (H)
- February 28: Leeds (A)
- March 4: Nottingham Forest (H)
- March 14: West Ham (A)
With both teams facing challenging fixtures, the title race is set to be a nail-biting affair. Arsenal will have to navigate away games against strong sides like Tottenham and Wolves, while City will be eager to maintain their home advantage against Newcastle and Fulham.
Moreover, Arsenal will have to face City at the Etihad in April, a crucial match that could significantly impact the destination of the Premier League trophy. Until then, both teams will be focused on securing victories and putting pressure on their title rivals.
