Arsenal have a chance to crank up the pressure on Manchester City this weekend as they seek to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal can go six points clear of their in-form rivals if they beat Fulham on Saturday, two days before City face a tricky trip to Everton.
The Gunners can pull well clear of Manchester City, at least for 48 hours, but they must re-discover their scoring touch in a season that could be decided by the tightest of margins.
Before the Gunners’ win against Newcastle last weekend, the top two were level on points and goal difference.
Arsenal know even if they win their four remaining games it may not be enough – they have failed to score more than one goal in any game since mid-March.
City, with a game in hand, have clicked into gear and are scoring much more freely than their rivals.
Former England defender Gary Neville believes Arsenal will have to be “wheelbarrowed” over the line if they are to win their first Premier League title since 2004.
“They’re not going to sail over the line — it’s going to be a real struggle. They’re not going to all of a sudden hit form in this next couple of weeks,” he said on The Gary Neville Podcast.
Below are the Premier League fixtures scheduled for the weekend:
Friday
Leeds v Burnley
Saturday
Brentford v West Ham
Newcastle v Brighton
Wolves v Sunderland
Arsenal v Fulham
