Arsenal’s next fixtures compared to Man City after title race lead cut

We may have a title race on our hands after all.

Arsenal are still considered heavy favourites to win their first Premier League title in more than two decades, but dropped points at Sunderland followed by Manchester City’s thumping 3-0 win over Liverpool has given the race a whole new look.

City are now just four points behind Arsenal, while reigning champions Liverpool sit eight off the pace after their fifth defeat in six games.

Gary Neville believes City are Arsenal’s clear main rivals, but insists the Reds cannot yet be counted out with 27 gameweeks of the season still to be played.

But is the momentum shifting? Arsenal face both of their fiercest London rivals in their next two games after the international break, while City face a struggling Newcastle, a beleagured Leeds and a faltering Fulham. Liverpool face three of the worst teams in the league in their first four.
