Arsenal and Liverpool’s Tightening Premier League Title Race
The Premier League title race between Arsenal and Liverpool has suddenly become more captivating. Arne Slot’s side have been the most efficient team in the country this season, and it appeared they were running away with the title. The Reds were nine points clear of the Gunners at one point.
However, after dropping four points in their last three games, the gap between the two sides could come down to just five points if Arsenal beat West Ham on Saturday. This development has reignited the title race in the eyes of many football enthusiasts.
Gary Lineker’s Prediction: Liverpool or Arsenal to Win the Premier League
Arsenal have had their fair share of challenges this season. The Gunners have not had a fully fit squad available at any point in the campaign, with Mikel Arteta having to do without at least one player in every single game so far.
After the injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, many Arsenal fans had given up on the title race. However, Liverpool’s recent results have rekindled hope among the Gunners’ supporters.
With the Reds facing Manchester City and Newcastle United in the next three days, Arsenal fans are hoping for more slip-ups from their rivals. If that occurs, it will be Arteta’s side’s title to lose.
Nonetheless, former England striker Gary Lineker believes Liverpool will ultimately win the title. In the latest episode of the “Rest is Football” podcast, Lineker stated:
“I’d still be very surprised if it’s not Liverpool’s title at the end of the season. But, you know, they have had two draws in the last three games, but they’re tough away games.”
Comparing Liverpool and Arsenal’s Upcoming Fixtures
As the season enters its business end, this period will be crucial in determining the outcome of the title race.
Despite Liverpool’s status as the favorites, Arsenal are not giving up and will push the Merseyside giants until the very end. Here’s a look at their next five Premier League fixtures:
| Liverpool | Arsenal |
| Manchester City (A) | West Ham United (H) |
| Newcastle United (H) | Nottingham Forest (A) |
| Southampton (H) | Manchester United (A) |
| Everton (H) | Chelsea (H) |
| Fulham (A) | Fulham (H) |
Liverpool’s clash against Manchester City on Sunday will be a crucial encounter. If the Reds lose against the champions and Arsenal beat West Ham, the gap between the two teams will be just five points, with the Gunners having a game in hand.
This scenario would put the title firmly in Arsenal’s hands – if they were to win all of their remaining matches, they would be crowned Premier League champions.
