Arsenal fans find themselves feeling devastated as their lead over Manchester City grows shorter and shorter.
Sunday’s 2-2 draw against West Ham signalled the second Premier League game in a row that Arsenal have thrown away a 2-0 lead, while it also cut the gap between the Gunners and the Citizens down to four points.
Going into the weekend, Arsenal were six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
So, with just weeks remaining of the 2022/23 campaign, let’s compare Arsenal and Manchester City‘s final fixtures…

As you can see, Mikel Arteta has some very difficult fixtures on his schedule, while Pep Guardiola will presumably feel quite confident given his experience in similar situations.
The clashes against Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton in particular will not be easy by any means.
Arsenal could also find themselves involved in potential banana skins against Nottingham Forest and Wolves in the final two games, as both sides are currently in the relegation battle.
In contrast, you would expect Manchester City – who boast more experience in a title race – to swat the likes of Fulham, West Ham, Leeds and Everton aside with ease.
Having said that, anything can happen in football, so be sure to keep your eyes firmly on this enthralling title race.
