Mikel Arteta\u2019s men have imploded since, losing to City<\/a> in the Carabao Cup final, crashing out of the FA Cup at the hands of Southampton and defeated 2\u20131 by Bournemouth<\/a> at home\u2014leaving the door open for Pep Guardiola\u2019s reinvigorated side to strike. <\/p>\n The Cityzens battered Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, securing a 3\u20130 win <\/a>and a critical three points to make up ground on the league-leaders. They now trail Arsenal by six points, but have a game in hand that could dwindle the gap down to three. <\/p>\n With only a handful of games left to play, the fight for the Premier League title could come down to a photo-finish, especially if Arsenal cannot come out on top in what should be a mouthwatering visit to the Etihad next weekend. <\/p>\n Arsenal, Man City\u2019s Remaining Premier League Games Man City are edging closer and closer to Arsenal atop the table. | Rob Newell\/CameraSport\/Getty Images<\/p>\n Arsenal (70 points)<\/p>\n Man City (64 points) <\/p>\n Man City (A) \u2013 April 19<\/p>\n Arsenal (H) \u2013 April 19<\/p>\n Newcastle (H) \u2013 April 25<\/p>\n Burnley (A) \u2013 April 22<\/p>\n Fulham (H) \u2013 May 2<\/p>\n Everton (A) \u2013 May 4<\/p>\n West Ham (A) \u2013 May 10<\/p>\n Brentford (H) \u2013 May 9<\/p>\n Burnley (H) \u2013 May 17<\/p>\n Bournemouth (A) \u2013 May 17<\/p>\n Crystal Palace (A) \u2013 May 24<\/p>\n Aston Villa (H) \u2013 May 24<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n *Crystal Palace (H) – Date TBC<\/p>\n *Game still to be rescheduled after prior postponement.<\/p>\n A trip to Manchester comes at a particularly cruel time for Arsenal. The Gunners have suffered three defeats in their last four matches and now must take on a scorching City side in what could be a game that decides the Premier League title. <\/p>\n City will be brimming with confidence after their Carabao Cup triumph<\/a> over the league-leaders, and will be the better rested of the two sides since they are out of the Champions League<\/a>. <\/p>\n Arteta\u2019s men then get to return home for matches against Newcastle United and Fulham. Two wins at the Emirates would help the Gunners breath a little easier, considering their next two opponents are relegation-battling West Ham United and Burnley. <\/p>\n Arsenal end their campaign at Crystal Palace. Despite their dismal spell in December and January, the Eagles have since rediscovered their form and that is trouble for the league-leaders, who previously needed penalties to get past Oliver Glasner\u2019s men in the Carabao Cup when they were nowhere near their best.<\/p>\n The Citizens have the head-to-head edge over Arsenal in 2025\u201326. | David Price\/Arsenal FC\/Getty Images<\/p>\n After City host Arsenal, they head to Turf Moor for what should be a routine outing against Burnley. A much trickier bout with Everton comes quickly after. The Toffees have only lost two of their last seven matches at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n Guardiola\u2019s men then return to Manchester for a battle with Brentford. Despite sitting in seventh place, the Bees are winless in their last five matches across all competitions and likely don\u2019t have the firepower to cause real problems\u2014the same is true for Crystal Palace, whose rescheduled game against City still does not have a set date and time. <\/p>\n Danger awaits at the end of City\u2019s slate. They first must make the trip to Vitality Stadium to take on a Bournemouth team that already conquered Liverpool and Arsenal in 2026. <\/p>\n Then, City close out the season against fourth-place Aston Villa. Unai Emery\u2019s side already won the reverse fixture 1\u20130 and could be incentivized to repeat their October performance should a positive result be required to secure Champions League soccer next season.<\/p>\n READ THE LATEST PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS, ANALYSIS AND INSIGHT FROM SI FC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rather lackluster Premier League season is gearing up for a massive finish as Manchester City chase down…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":580930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-580929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/580930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Rodri,](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kp1fvf4c79wek07yz4.jpg\" "\\"Rodri,")
