Time is running out for Arsenal. While they remain at the top of the table and continue to win their games, the North Londoners need to crack Man City at some point.
However, the next league weekend will give Pep Guardiola’s side the chance to put pressure on Arsenal when they face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday. A day later, the Gunners are in action when they take on Manchester United, who were absolutely terrible in a 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday night.
City’s upcoming game takes place in midweek when they visit Tottenham. Arsenal desperately need a favor from their local rivals as they hunt for their first league title since 2003/04.
On the final day, both teams play at home, with Arsenal taking on Everton while Man City host West Ham. The championship decision is expected to be made in Gameweek 38, but whether the trophy will carry blue or red ribbons remains to be seen.
