Arsenal’s three defining games in Premier League title race

Arsenal sealed an emphatic 6-0 victory against a dreadful Sheffield United side at Bramall Lane last time out. 

The Gunners found themselves five goals ahead by the break, courtesy of Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice efforts. 

Ben White also earned his name on the scoresheet in the second-half as the visitors cruised to a seventh successive Premier League win. 

But despite their excellent winning run, Mikel Arteta’s side still find themselves two points behind leaders Liverpool in the league standings. 

Arsenal’s Premier League title drought will end if they win these fixtures 

The North Londoners ran out of steam last season as they missed out on the league title to Manchester City. 

But they have hit peak form at the perfect time this campaign as they aim to end their title drought. 

Mikel Arteta’s men face three crucial Arsenal fixtures in the league run-in and winning all three of them will almost guarantee their league success. 

They will square off with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium later this month. 

The Gunners beat City 1-0 in the reverse fixture in October, but Pep Guardiola’s side are currently enjoying their best form. 

Coming away from Manchester with either a draw or a win will be highly challenging but the North Londoners have the quality to pull off such a feat. 

Another tricky fixture for Arteta’s men will see them take on bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur in an away game in April. 

The two sides played out a 2-2 draw the last time they met in the Premier League, and another exciting contest is expected between the two at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next month. 

Apart from City and Spurs, Arsenal will also have to face Manchester United at Old Trafford before the end of the season. 

Erik ten Hag’s side have been highly inconsistent this campaign but they boast great quality in their ranks.
