Arsenal hold a seven-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League title race, though they've played one more game. The Gunners face a slightly easier run-in, including a potential title-defining trip to the Etihad on April 19. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities this season, with City's 60 points after 29 games being their lowest haul under Pep Guardiola since his first season.

The battle for Champions League qualification intensifies as just three points separate Manchester United, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Villa currently have the most favorable fixture list, facing four bottom-six teams in their next six games. Liverpool, currently fifth, face a challenging May schedule against their direct rivals.

Leeds appear best positioned in the relegation scrap with the kindest remaining fixtures, while West Ham sit bottom three with the toughest run-in. However, West Ham's recent form under Nuno Espirito Santo has improved dramatically, taking 14 points from their last eight games and showing the highest expected goal difference during that period.
