Arsenal will play Manchester City at Emirates in the 32nd week of Barclays Premier League today. One of the biggest fixture that will decide who have more chance to win the Premier league title this season.
Arsenal might have lost their hopes for the title but they have to fight for the fourth spot as Everton are just six points away with a game in hand. Arsenal have suffered trashing defeats against Liverpool and Chelsea in 2014 and this also leads everyone to another big defeat today. Manchester City are eager to get the first spot.
City must win this game in order to let their hopes live for the title because Chelsea have all easy fixtures except the Liverpool one which will be played on 27th April.
