Arsenal's next five Premier League fixtures compared to Man City in title race

Arsenal moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a win against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium after Manchester City beat Liverpool in the early kick-off

Arsenal are showing no signs of stumbling in their Premier League title fight against Manchester City. The Gunners returned to action after the international break with a second consecutive 4-1 win at the Emirates Stadium as they maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the table.

There are now just nine games left to play this season for Arsenal as they chase down a first Premier League title since 2004. football.london has taken a look at the Gunners' next five fixtures compared to title rivals City.

A trip to Liverpool awaits where Arsenal have been poor travellers in recent campaigns and may have to get something out of the game if they are to be crowned champions at the end of the season. The Reds have struggled in the campaign, but have got themselves back in the hunt for top four and could cause plenty of problems.

West Ham have been far from the side they developed into in recent seasons, moving away from being European challengers to relegation strugglers. The Hammers still have plenty of quality in their side though and will cause some problems, especially given the fact they will be at home.

Another relegation candidate follows for the Gunners as they host a Southampton that has kept themselves in the race to survive in the league under Ruben Selles. The Saints have a decent record against the "big six" in the division this campaign, with the latest result being a 3-3 draw against Tottenham.

To end the next run of five fixtures is the potential title decider between Arsenal and their rivals City, which could shift the dynamic of the whole campaign. The previous clash ended in a victory for Pep Guardiola's side, but the outcome of this tie could be the biggest one of all.

Yet another huge game. A London derby follows a potential title-decider against City with Arteta's side needing to prepare quickly for a game against Chelsea.

The Blues have struggled under Graham Potter this season despite spending over £600million on new signings in the last two transfer windows. Arsenal will hope they can continue to prove that London is red and pick up a crucial three points ahead of the final few fixtures of the season heading into May.
