As the 2023/24 Premier League title race heats up, the Daily Star sports edition has conducted an in-depth analysis of the remaining fixtures of Manchester City and Arsenal and made predictions for the future.
Analysis of Arsenal's remaining fixtures
Arsenal have a challenging schedule at the end of the season. They beat Bournemouth by four goals in the first leg of the meeting in September, but the second leg will not be easy. Bournemouth's form has picked up since March, with six wins, two draws and two defeats in their last 10 matches.
Despite this, Bournemouth have not been as good as they could have been when facing teams at the top of the league. They have lost against Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur and have picked up just one point from their two meetings with Aston Villa. Arsenal are expected to pick up all three points against Bournemouth.
Next up is the away game against Manchester United. Despite their ups and downs this season, Manchester United are more than capable of causing problems for Arsenal on their title run when they are in the best of form. However, with Manchester United already out of the top four and Arsenal in desperate need of points, the Gunners are more likely to emerge victorious in this game.
Arsenal's last game was at home to Everton. Everton have managed relegation this season and have been in good form of late, but against title-winning Arsenal, the Toffees may struggle to stop the Gunners' progress. The Daily Star predicts that Arsenal are expected to take all nine points from their remaining three games.
Analysis of the remaining fixtures of Manchester City
Manchester City secured a crucial victory despite not being the best of their best in the round of 35 with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. They will next host Wolves, who beat Manchester City in their first meeting of the season. However, with a strong home advantage, Manchester City will be hoping for revenge.
City then travel to Fulham, which could be a big obstacle in their way to the title. Fulham have been in excellent form at home this season, beating Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur and beating West Ham and Nottingham Forest 5-0. But with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in good form, City are expected to take all three points on the road.
Manchester City's biggest challenge will be away to Tottenham. Tottenham are still in contention for a top-four finish and will give it their all. However, if Aston Villa secure fourth place before then, Tottenham's morale could be affected and City could be expected to win comfortably.
In the final round, Manchester City will host West Ham. The Blues have won five of their last six games at the end of the season and have not lost to West Ham in the Premier League since 2015. The media predicts that Manchester City will take all 12 points from their remaining four games to successfully defend the Premier League title by two points.
conclusion
According to an analysis by the Daily Star, both Arsenal and Manchester City will be going all out for the remainder of the fixtures to win every game. The ultimate fate of both teams will depend on how they respond to the challenges and how they perform in key moments. The Premier League title race will undoubtedly enter an exciting climax.
