This weekend, Manchester City host Brentford at the Etihad on Saturday (16:30 GMT), while Arsenal travel to West Ham on Sunday. Both matches are crucial to the outcome of the 2023-24 Premier League title race.
Currently, Arsenal leads the table by five points over Manchester City, but City have four games remaining to Arsenal's three. If City lose to Brentford and Arsenal win their next match, the race could end as early as the following round.
Remaining fixtures for Man City: After Brentford, City face Crystal Palace (Wednesday, a game that will equalize their matches with Arsenal), then travel to Chelsea and Bournemouth, before hosting Aston Villa on the final day.
Remaining fixtures for Arsenal: After their trip to West Ham, Arsenal host already-relegated Burnley, then finish the season away at Crystal Palace. The Gunners also have the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30 to look forward to.
From Man City: Coach Pep Guardiola said: 'We have to put pressure on Arsenal by winning our matches. That's all we can do.' He praised Jeremy Doku, who scored a stoppage-time equalizer against Everton to salvage a point for City.
From Arsenal: Coach Mikel Arteta urged his players to maintain their hunger: 'Live in the moment. Prepare and show the same energy, the same desire we've shown all season. Everything we do will matter.' He stressed the team is fully focused on the West Ham match, despite having just secured a Champions League final spot.
Team news: Man City hope to have Rodri back from injury, while Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol are also close to recovery. For Brentford, Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo are out with knee injuries, while Rico Henry and Jordon Henderson are doubtful.
The Premier League title race remains undecided, and this weekend's matches will bring much more clarity.
