A crunch match in the Premier League title race will be the driving force for this weekend’s Round 30 action in the English top flight, as Manchester City and Arsenal prepare for battle at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City and Arsenal’s meeting on the late afternoon of Sunday 31 March promises to be a sublime demonstration of speed, skill and stamina, as two of the very best club teams in the world battle over three points which could prove decisive in the title race.
Liverpool are also very much in the picture, but Citizens boss Pep Guardiola believes the Gunners represent the biggest threat to his side’s ambition of becoming the first team to win four successive English top-flight championships.
“Arsenal is already there, last season they were our biggest rivals. Look how they play,” said the Spanish tactician. “Liverpool need more than 90 minutes to win the game, sometimes more. Arsenal sometimes need just 25 minutes to win the games. That’s why they are there.”
Liverpool will have the chance to put pressure on City and Arsenal by winning earlier on Sunday – though that will be no guarantee, given that they are welcoming the unpredictable and dangerous Brighton & Hove Albion.
The round opens on Saturday with Newcastle United hosting West Ham United in the early kick-off, while the pick of late afternoon kick-offs is Tottenham Hotspur welcoming Luton Town in a London derby – with Spurs looking for key points in their race to secure UEFA Champions League qualification.
“It’s not a Willy Wonka golden ticket – it just gets you a year [in the competition],” said Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou. “But if you don’t grow from that, then it’s pointless. We’re not going to be in it for participation, we’re in it to win things.”
Saturday’s early evening and night games see Aston Villa host Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Manchester United face a banana skin away to Brentford – with the Bees no doubt chasing a major scalp in their battle against relegation.
