BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal next Five premier league fixtures compared to Liverpool and Man city after international break – As Mikel Arteta team faces weak opposition side that could crown Arsenal premier league champions before December
Arsenal have enjoyed a perfect Saturday after their Premier League win over West Ham United and the dramatic late scenes in the clash between Chelsea and title rivals Liverpool.
Following that, all the focus switched onto Stamford Bridge after the gap to leaders Liverpool was closed down to just one point. Arne Slot’s side initially fell behind to Chelsea, but fought back only to lose in the final minutes when Estevao Willian slotted home the winner.
With all of that being said, football.london has taken a look at the upcoming fixtures for both teams with the title race heating up…
Arsenal’s next five fixtures
Fulham (A) – Saturday, October 18
Crystal Palace (H) – Sunday, October 26
Burnley (A) – Saturday, November 1
Sunderland (A) – Saturday, November 8
Tottenham (H) – Sunday, November 23
Their first fixture back from the international break comes at Craven Cottage against Fulham. It is often a difficult place to go but back-to-back 3-1 defeats suggest Marco Silva’s side are struggling. Arguably the toughest match comes next with Crystal Palace, on a 19-game unbeaten run, as the visitors to Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners then face two newly-promoted teams in Burnley and Sunderland away from home, with wins in both needed if they are to be serious competitors for the title. The November international break is then on the schedule, but Premier League action returns with a North London Derby at home to Tottenham.
Liverpool’s next five fixtures
Manchester United (H) – Sunday, October 19
Brentford (A) – Saturday, October 25
Aston Villa (H) – Saturday, November 1
Manchester City (A) – Sunday, November 9
Nottingham Forest (H) – Saturday, November 22
Verdict: Liverpool also have some good and challenging games on paper, but their recent form will be a concern. A huge game against Manchester United at Anfield is their first fixture back from the break, with it vital they get back to winning ways after three consecutive defeats.
A trip to Brentford follows that before Aston Villa travel north in search of their first Premier League win away from home this season. Liverpool then take on historic title rivals Manchester City with a repeat of last season’s 2-0 win at Etihad Stadium the dream.
Following the November international break, Nottingham Forest are the visitors to Liverpool and they could have a new man in charge by that point with pressure on Ange Postecoglou ramping up.
