Arsenal worry, Fulham warning - Man City title race latest as eyes turn to final games

The Premier League title race between Manchester City and Arsenal is set to go down to the wire with now less than two weeks remaining of the season.

As things stand, the Gunners are top of the table but it’s Pep Guardiola’s Man City who hold the advantage due to having a game in hand. Arsenal are just one point above City, meaning that a win against Tottenham would see City leapfrog them ahead of the final day of the season.

The race for the top spot has been building for the last couple of months. Liverpool were real contenders in what looked like a three-way race, but a slip-up over the last few weeks have seen them fall off the pace. The Reds can still mathematically still finish top, but it is now realistically down to City and Arsenal.

As the number of games dwindles down, the tension and pressure on each of the 90 minutes for each team ramps up. Both teams are back in action this week, with every game now playing a significant part in what the outcome at the end of the season will be.

City are going for a historic fourth win in a row. Ahead of the return to action, here is some of the latest news around the race for top spot.

The next hurdle for City comes in a trip to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham in Saturday’s early kick-off. A win for Guardiola’s side would see them climb above Arsenal ahead of their Premier League match against Manchester United on Sunday.

However. Ahead of the game, Fulham boss Marco Silva has sent a warning to City. "We are going to try and win the game as always,” he said.
