Arsenal vs Manchester City Premier League Title Race: Who has the easier run-in?
The Premier League title race could go all the way to the final gameweek of the season.
Following Manchester City’s victory over Arsenal last weekend, the Premier League title race is set for an intense title chase this season.
After losing to Bournemouth at home, Arsenal lost 2-1 at the Etihad, meaning they are no longer in control of the title race, and now a win for City will see both sides equal on points.
The title will be decided by goal differential if both teams win all of their remaining games. Arsenal are still ahead with five games remaining in the season, but they’ve let it slip in the past.
Although confidence has been damaged following a loss to City. Between now and the end of the season, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners will play two of the bottom three teams.
Similar to Arsenal, City will play relegation-threatened Burnley before the season ends, but they will also play a crucial match against Champions League-cashing Aston Villa at the end of the season that might determine the title winner.
The remaining games in the Premier League title chase for both are set for an intense pursuit, as both clubs cannot drop points anymore, as it will significantly hamper their title chase.
List of remaining Premier League games for Man City and Arsenal

Both sides have decent fixtures in their run to the league title, although the Gunners have simpler fixtures and can’t afford to drop points, given City have a game in hand and a win for them will see them equal points with them.
But City still have to face Aston Villa, who are 4th in the Premier League table, as well as 7th-placed Brentford and 8th-placed Bournemouth. So Arsenal have the easier fixtures on hand.
But, the title race once again looks certainly going down to the last game of the season, with City picking up form in the final few gameweeks.
