Manchester City moved top of the Premier League<\/a> with a 1-0<\/a> win at Burnley on Wednesday, leapfrogging Arsenal<\/a> in the process. <\/p>\n Mikel Arteta\u2019s side had held a nine-point gap at the summit just a fortnight ago, but stutters from the Gunners and relentless form from City has seen that advantage washed away. <\/p>\n City hauled themselves within three points with a 2-1 <\/a>win over the north London club at the Etihad Stadium<\/a> last weekend, as goals from Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland helped Pep Guardiola\u2019s men to a huge victory over their rivals. <\/p>\n City sit top on goals scored, having hit 66 compared to Arsenal\u2019s 63, while both sides are level on 70 points and a 37 goal difference. <\/p>\n Haaland was on target again as his sixth-minute winner at Turf Moor took City to the top of the tree with five games to play, but who do both sides face in their respective run-ins, and how close could it be going into the final knockings of the campaign? <\/p>\n City will have another game in hand to play at some point as they do not play in the Premier League this weekend. <\/p>\n It means that Mikel Arteta\u2019s side could be back on top by the end of the week, when they take on Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium on April 25. <\/p>\n The weekend after that, City are back in action, travelling to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Europe-chasing Everton, while Arsenal host London rivals Fulham. <\/p>\n After that, City are back at the Etihad Stadium to play Keith Andrews\u2019 high-flying Brentford, while Arteta\u2019s men make the trip to Stratford to take on West Ham, who are fighting for their Premier League survival.<\/p>\n A visit to Bournemouth could be the biggest banana skin across both sides\u2019 run-ins, and City will have to make the trip to the Dorset coast on May 17, while Arsenal play already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates, with City sending the Clarets down with their victory at Turf Moor. <\/p>\n On the final day, City must travel to Aston Villa – who could still be in Champions League contention – while Arsenal visit Crystal Palace, who could have their attentions elsewhere should they progress into the Europa Conference League final.<\/p>\n City\u2019s game in hand will, incidentally, come against Palace, although a date for that fixture is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n Arsenal title run-in in full<\/p>\n Saturday, April 25 – Newcastle (H) <\/p>\n Saturday, May 2 – Fulham (H) <\/p>\n Sunday, May 10 – West Ham (A)<\/p>\n Sunday, May 17 – Burnley (H) <\/p>\n Sunday, May 24 – Crystal Palace (A)<\/p>\n Man City title run-in in full<\/p>\n Monday, May 4 – Everton (A)<\/p>\n Saturday, May 9 – Brentford (H) <\/p>\n Sunday, May 17 – Bournemouth (A)<\/p>\n Sunday May 24 – Aston Villa (H) <\/p>\n *Game vs Crystal Palace (H) was originally scheduled for Friday, May 22, but has been postponed.
