Arsenal and Manchester City have discovered their schedule for the rest of the Premier League season as both look to come out on top in what has been an enthralling title race
The Premier League have confirmed the schedule for the penultimate week of the season with Arsenal and Manchester City match changed in the race for the title.
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have four top-flight games left, starting with Saturday’s home clash against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium. They then make the trip to relegation-threatened West Ham on May 10 before hosting Burnley and travelling to Crystal Palace on the final day of the campaign.
Arsenal had been waiting until after the two FA Cup semi-finals for the date and time for their home game with Burnley to be confirmed – and now the Premier League have announced that the fixture is due to take place on Monday, May 18 at 8:00pm, live on Sky Sports.
The Gunners go into the final stretch of the season three points above City in the race for the title, though Pep Guardiola’s side do boast a game in hand and a better goal difference.
As well as the four league matches remaining, Arsenal have a two-legged Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid to contend with, plus a potential final with Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich on May 30.

City then host Palace, rearranged from the Carabao Cup final, on May 13 and travel to Bournemouth, first set for the weekend of the FA Cup final, on May 19. Those two matches lead up to the final game of the season at home to Aston Villa on May 24.
After beating Championship side Southampton 2-1 on Saturday, Guardiola’s side are scheduled to face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 16 at Wembley Stadium. It means City are set to contend with five matches within the space of 15 days, as they bid to end the season with the domestic treble.
