Arsenal remain four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, although the Gunners have played a game more. Manchester City have won their last six games and are hitting form at the most vital part of the season.
Arsenal have difficult matches among them is against Newcastle, Manchester City away, Chelsea and Brighton at home.
On the other hand, Manchester City will have a chance to go one point behind their title-chasing companions if they take full advantage of their game in hand.
The Citizens be hoping to go top with a win over the Gunners at the Etihad later in the month.
City fixtures look more favorable on paper, but they have a hell of a lot more of them in all competitions.
