City vs Arsenal: The run-in

After this weekend, City will have a game in hand over rivals Arsenal, whose draw at Wolves was rescheduled due to the Carabao Cup final.

Pep Guardiola’s side were due to host Crystal Palace that weekend, but a new date for the fixture has not yet been announced.

Arsenal have six more home matches this season, whilst City will have five after they’ve played Newcastle.

Both sides also have only one last ‘Big Six’ opponent in Chelsea to play aside from each other.

With the season ending on May 24, it’s unlikely that the title will be decided in their match on the weekend of April 18.

However, the result is set to have a huge impact on who will be lifting the Premier League trophy on the final day.
