EPL fixtures: Arsenal face Chelsea title test as Fulham host Tottenham

Premier League leaders Arsenal face a title test from London rivals Chelsea on Sunday, while troubled Tottenham travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham.

Manchester City can keep the pressure on Arsenal with a win at Leeds, while troubled Tottenham cannot afford another damaging defeat.

The Gunners revitalised their flagging title bid thanks to a meeting between the players prior to their vital 4-1 win at Tottenham on Sunday.

Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze both scored twice in a north London derby rout that came just four days after the Gunners were stunned by a 2-2 draw at bottom of the table Wolves.

The dropped points at Molineux led to questions about Arsenal’s ability to cope with the title tension and Mikel Arteta’s squad responded by thrashing out their issues in crunch talks.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice disclosed that the players spoke to each other in a “firm” way, leading to a cathartic victory at Tottenham that reestablished a five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola has warned Arsenal that Manchester City will “never give up” as they chase the seventh Premier League title of his glittering reign.

Guardiola’s side won 2-1 against Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium last weekend to keep the destiny of the title in their hands.

Although Arsenal are five points ahead, City have a game in hand and host the Gunners in April.

If City win their last 11 matches they guaranteed to win the title no matter what the Premier League leaders do in their remaining 10 games.

Below are the Premier League fixtures scheduled for the weekend:

Friday

Wolves v Aston Villa

Saturday

Bournemouth v Sunderland

Burnley v Brentford

Liverpool v West Ham
