We all consider the Premier League the best in the world and certainly, this is an undisputed fact. This League has the most money, the best, and the biggest talents along with probably the best managers, through years it collected the reputation and now enjoys the throne at the top. So the battle to be the best of the very bests is a tight one. This year, it is the battle between London and Manchester, it is the battle between Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal is sitting at the top but with a hair-thin margin. They have a four-point lead over Arsenal but Manchester City has a game in hand. Now, several factors will determine the title race. Firstly, City is in a European Competition, unlike Arsenal who was eliminated from the Europa League by the Portuguese side Sporting.

So, simply City will have to manage a hectic schedule, on the other hand, Arsenal will have to play fewer games in that time period. From April 22nd to May 28th, Arsenal has to take part in just 7 games. But if we talk about City, they have to play 11 matches in the same period. That gives Arsenal enough advantage to capitalize on that.
But the drama isn’t just limited there as Arsenal will be facing Manchester City on the evening of the 26th. A match that will decide the complete title race. In about a week, we will be getting a clearer picture of the winners.
Now let’s talk about the quality of matches. Though no premier league match is completely one-sided, Arsenal has a tougher schedule. In the remaining matches, they will be having teams like City, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Wolves, which can and will make the title case so much more difficult.
