Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes hang precariously as they approach the final stretch of the season. With just two matches remaining, the Gunners cling to a one-point lead over Manchester City, who have a crucial game in hand.
Arsenal’s fate could be determined this weekend when City visit Fulham. The London side has never beaten City in 21 previous encounters, casting doubt on Arsenal’s chances of a slip-up from their rivals.
Meanwhile, Arsenal face a daunting trip to Manchester United, who are desperate to secure European football next season. However, United’s recent form has been dismal, and Arsenal will be confident of securing a victory.
Another key battle this weekend is the race for European qualification. Newcastle and Chelsea are both in contention for a Europa League or UEFA Conference League spot. Newcastle, currently in sixth place, host Brighton and have won five of their last seven league games.
Chelsea, under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, have also found form in recent weeks. They travel to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, knowing that a win will keep their European hopes alive.
Forest, despite a four-point penalty for breaching financial rules, are on the brink of securing Premier League safety. They need only match Luton’s result against West Ham to avoid the drop.
