Mikel Arteta's team are just four matches away from accomplishing that feat, with their showdown against PSG coming after league fixtures against West Ham United, Burnley and Crystal Palace . Title challengers Manchester City currently trail Arsenal by five points. However, Pep Guardiola's outfit have four games remaining, with their fixture against Crystal Palace, initially scheduled for the Carabao Cup final weekend, set to take place next Tuesday. Before that, City host Brentford at the Etihad Stadium this weekend, with Arsenal travelling to West Ham United the day after. Saka and Rice are both anticipated to feature in London, with their minutes being carefully monitored across the final two fixtures.
