Seven games to go: The fixtures that will decide the title race for Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City
The Premier League title race remains finely poised after the weekend’s latest round of matches, with just one point now separating Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Liverpool’s profligate draw at Old Trafford has allowed Arsenal to claim top spot after their own 3-0 victory at Brighton – a result which bumps up their healthy goal difference even more – while City are breathing down their necks after coming from behind against Crystal Palace.
With just seven games left of the season, there are only a maximum of 21 points still up for grabs – while all three teams have to grapple with the demands of European football too.
Defending champions City may have – on paper at least – the easiest run-in but they are the only side still competing in three competitions, and all three title challengers face some enormous hurdles.
