- Arsenal faces Bournemouth, aiming to maintain their lead over Manchester City, who are closely trailing in the Premier League
- Manchester City, holding a crucial game in hand, prepares to host Wolves, while Arsenal seeks victory against Bournemouth
Arsenal will resume their pursuit of Premier League glory this weekend against Bournemouth, fully aware of the pressing challenge posed by Manchester City closely trailing behind.
Under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, the Gunners find themselves just a point ahead of Pep Guardiola’s City with only three games remaining. However, City, set to host Wolves, holds a crucial game.
Meanwhile, Newcastle seeks to escalate the pressure on Manchester United in the race for a Europa League spot as they face Burnley, who are striving for a miraculous escape from relegation.
Despite Arsenal’s resurgence following their recent defeat to Aston Villa, they face a formidable City side currently boasting an unbeaten streak of 31 games across all competitions.
The Gunners can apply pressure by securing a victory against Bournemouth in the Saturday early kick-off at the Emirates. Although Bournemouth has reached its highest-ever points tally in the Premier League season and currently sits in 10th place, it has only managed to beat Arsenal once in its history.
While City’s performance against Nottingham Forest last weekend may not have been their finest, they still clinched victory and remain strong contenders to secure an unprecedented fourth consecutive English title.
Arsenal remains optimistic, hoping for a slip-up from City, especially considering Wolves’ previous victory against them earlier in the season. Guardiola, however, remains steadfast, emphasizing the importance of not dropping any points in the remaining fixtures.
“With four games left, it’s like climbing a mountain,” Guardiola remarked. “They are very tough games… If we draw a game, we will not win the Premier League. It is what it is.”
