Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League table was cut down to just six points following a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield - handing Manchester City a major boost
The Gunners' old nemesis Roberto Firmino came off the bench to equalise late in the game, with Ramsdale stopping Jurgen Klopp's side from taking all three points after denying Ibrahima Konate on the line with just seconds left.
Arsenal need to pick themselves up and dust themselves down with just eight games left to play this season as they chase down a first Premier League title since 2004. football.london has taken a look at the Gunners' next five fixtures compared to title rivals City.
West Ham (A) - Sunday, April 16
West Ham have been far from the side they developed into in recent seasons, moving away from being European challengers to relegation strugglers. The Hammers still have plenty of quality in their side though and will cause some problems, especially given the fact they will be at home.
Southampton (H) - Friday, April 21
Another relegation candidate follows for the Gunners as they host a Southampton that has kept themselves in the race to survive in the league under Ruben Selles. The Saints have a decent record against the "big six" in the division this campaign, with the most recent result being a 3-3 draw against Tottenham.
Man City (A) - Wednesday, April 26
Arguably Arsenal's biggest game in the last 19 years. A potential title decider between the Gunners and their rivals Manchester City, which could shift the dynamic of the whole campaign. The clash at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the campaign ended in a victory for Pep Guardiola's side, but the outcome of this tie could be the biggest one of all.
City have the title in their own hands following Arsenal's draw at Anfield. Both teams know how crucial this game with the Gunners hoping to reclaim an advantage over Guardiola's side.
Chelsea (H) - Saturday, April 29
Yet another huge game. A London derby follows a potential title-decider against City with Arteta's side needing to prepare quickly for a game against Chelsea.
The Blues have made two changes in the dugout this season and have spent over £600million on new signings in the last two transfer windows. Arsenal will hope they can continue to prove that London is red and pick up a crucial three points ahead of the final few fixtures of the season heading into May.
Newcastle (A) - Sunday, May 7
Another huge test for Mikel Arteta's side awaits heading into May. A trip to St. James' Park at the end of last term saw the Gunners' crumble and miss out on Champions League qualification.
Nothing other than a win will be good enough this time as Arsenal chase down the Premier League title. Arteta will hope his players can learn from last season and beat the Magpies on their home turf despite Eddie Howe's side enjoying one of their best ever seasons in Premier League history - challenging for a top four spot and currently in brilliant form.
Manchester City's next five fixtures:
Leicester (H) - April 15
Arsenal (H) - April 26
Fulham (A) - April 30
West Ham (H) - May 3
Leeds United (H) - May 7

No need to compare I see us winning the league this season, forget about the games and let’s play, because we draw Liverpool at home people now see Liverpool as easy team, and they forgot that Man City and Man U lose there at Anfield, at least we were able to get 4 point from their head this season

What a wonderful season of EPL football.This League is just the best League in the world.A season where the strange teams are confidently occupying the top four, saying they too deserve and have the right to be at the Champions league come next season.Talking about the team that will win the EPL this season,this is my opinion..With what I see regarding the remaining opponents for Arsenal,they will surely drop some points to Chelsea,Man City and this number 3 team on the table Newcastle.Newcastle has the strongest defense this season and they playing at home against Arsenal,with their strong home support base,for sure Arsenal will drop some points in my own opinion.But if you look at Man City's remaining matches you' ll see that City has the capacity and experience to win all their remaining contest for the season.Most especially when you look at KDB & HALLAND'S sharpness in the attack,I don't think there's any team this season that will be able to stand against City.Their work rate and ball possession and control of the game is something amazing to watch.To add it all,"PEP TAUGHT ATTETA ALL THAT HE KNOWS TODAY as a coach,BUT PEP NEVER TAUGHT ATTETA ALL the tricks THAT HE KNOW'S".You get it ? Think about it,that's what will make the difference in ETIHAD .The BLUE MOON will emerge and shine through the ETIHAD stadium once again and make the SHARK more fierce against Arsenal.It will be total annihilation of the Arsenal team,where the student Ateta will bow to his Master Pep. Man City is the winner of the 2022/2023 EPL CUP. THANKS FOOTBALL LOVING FAMILY.
