Dramatic midweek results in the Premier League shook up the outlook of the table in the English top flight. Liverpool’s comfortable win over Chelsea at Anfield strengthened Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table. However, Manchester City remains nipping at the heels of the Reds. After defeating Vincent Kompany and Burnley, City trails the league leaders by five points. Still, Pep Guardiola’s side has a game in hand.
On matchday 23, Premier League fans will have one of the most important games of the season at their disposal. Arsenal hosts Liverpool in a rematch of their draw from earlier in the season. Back-to-back wins have allowed the Gunners to find their footing in league play. Yet, a poor run of form for several weeks may have been too damaging for Arsenal’s title hopes. Five points back of the Reds, a win For Arsenal would add serious parity to the title race. Likewise, Liverpool can take a massive step toward a second Premier League title with a win at the Emirates.
Sunday’s game between Manchester United and West Ham United could be interesting as well. West Ham drew with Bournemouth midweek, which adds to the drama of teams trying to qualify for Europe next season. The clubs have just one point of separation, with West Ham occupying sixth.
