Premier League Title Race: A Look at the Remaining Fixtures
The Premier League title race is heating up as the season enters its final stretch, with just nine games left to play. Liverpool currently sit at the top of the table, one point ahead of Arsenal and three points clear of Manchester City. City manager Pep Guardiola has acknowledged Liverpool as the favorites to end their streak of three successive titles, with Arsenal close behind.
Over the weekend, Liverpool moved into pole position with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Brighton, while City were held to a goalless draw by Arsenal. Guardiola admitted that Liverpool are the team to beat, with Arsenal in second place and City in third.
City will have to be near perfect in their remaining fixtures to have a chance at overtaking Liverpool and Arsenal. Last season, City were able to close a five-point gap and overtake Arsenal in the final stages of the season. However, this time around, City have already played Liverpool and Arsenal twice, making their task even more challenging.
Liverpool have been City’s toughest competitors in recent years, relegating them to second place in the 2019-20 season. The pressure will continue to build for Liverpool as they face tough fixtures against Manchester United and Everton.
With all three teams still in contention for European titles as well, the race for the Premier League crown is far from over. City have a history of strong finishes, while Arsenal have shown improvement from last season. A dramatic finale is expected as the top three teams battle it out for the title.
