Compare the schedule of Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool in the remaining 7 matches
The Premier League schedule for the remaining 7 matches will greatly affect the three-horse race between Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool.
Round 32 of the Premier League ended with joy for Arsenal and Man City. Accordingly, the Gunners defeated Brighton 3-0 away from home, while the Green Man defeated Crystal Palace 4-2. Liverpool did not have joy in this round, they let MU draw 2-2 at Old Trafford.
With the above results, Arsenal and Liverpool are equal on points but Mikel Arteta’s team leads thanks to a better sub-index. Man City ranked 3rd, 1 point less than the 2 teams above. The Premier League schedule for the remaining 7 matches will greatly affect the three-horse race between Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool.
For Man City, their remaining 7 matches have 3 home matches against Luton, Wolves and West Ham, while their 4 away trips are against Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Tottenham. Arsenal will face a more difficult schedule. Accordingly, the Gunners will play at home against Chelsea, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Everton, and three away trips against Wolves, Tottenham and MU are also not easy.
For Liverpool, they will play at home against Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Wolves, while away trips against Fulham, Everton, West Ham and Aston Villa. With the schedule of the Top 3 in the remaining 7 matches, perhaps Man City’s schedule is easier than Arsenal and Liverpool. That is also the reason why Opta predicts that Pep Guardiola and his team’s chances of winning the throne are about 40%, and the other two teams are 30%.
However, matches in the European Cup probably also partly determine the teams’ chances of winning the Premier League. The Green Man still has two Champions League quarter-final matches against Real Madrid, while Arsenal clashes with Bayern Munich in this tournament. Liverpool plays in the C2 Cup, they will meet Atalanta in the quarterfinals.
