Man City next five Premier League fixtures compared to title rivals Liverpool FC and Arsenal

Manchester City hit back from a goal down to defeat neighbours Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Phil Foden (2) and Erling Haaland settled the scores for the champions after Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for United with a stunning drive in a match which might have a significant say in the ongoing race for the Premier League title and Champions League qualification.

City won the lot last season and are well-placed to pick up the English crown for a fourth year running. However, even a side as good as Pep Guardiola's champions will not have it all their own way.

Liverpool still top the charts and outlined their title credentials with a 99th-minute winner on Saturday afternoon, while third-placed Arsenal play catch up on Monday night. Here, we take a look at how the schedule compares for City and their main title rivals;
