It was another weekend of drama in the Premier League title race as a large number of twists and turns helped Arsenal end Gameweek 32 at the top of the table.

The Gunners' 3-0 victory at Brighton was an emphatic response to Manchester City's 4-2 triumph at Crystal Palace and means they sit in first place on goal difference after Liverpool could only draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The run-in will provide even more drama for all three teams, but who has the easiest batch of fixtures? Here are Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City's final seven league games of the 2023/24 season.

Liverpool's run-in continues next Sunday when they host Crystal Palace, though they are also in action against Atalanta in the Europa League, in which their participation could have knock-on effects in the Premier League should they go far.

Gameweek 33 sees the Reds play twice, visiting Fulham and Everton in the space of four days, and they'll return to London at the end of April with a trip to West Ham. They're back at home when Tottenham arrive at Anfield before concluding the campaign against Aston Villa and Wolves.

Arsenal's next task in their search for a first Premier League title since 2003/04 comes against top-four hopefuls Aston Villa. With victory hopefully assured for Mikel Arteta, the Gunners then face Wolves and Chelsea in quick succession before the north London derby away at Tottenham.

In their final three league games, Arteta will hope to oversee triumphs over Bournemouth, a rag-tag Manchester United and Everton on the last day of the season.

Man City could yet repeat their treble glory from last season and some punters believe their run-in is the easiest out of the title contenders.

The Cityzens are renowned for their late-season bursts that secure Premier League titles and upcoming clashes with Luton Town, Brighton and Nottingham Forest are ones Pep Guardiola will expect to win.

The current champions also face Tottenham in a match which still needs rescheduling but round off their campaign against two London outfits in Fulham and West Ham.

In a Premier League title race where the slightest slip could prove fatal, it was Man City who drew first blood in Gameweek 32 in the early kick-off against Crystal Palace.

Jean-Philippe Mateta's third minute effort only poked City into life as Kevin De Bruyne equalised with a beauty before Rico Lewis gave them the lead shortly after half-time. Erling Haaland got on the scoresheet and De Bruyne's second extended the visitors' lead, but Odsonne Edouard pulled one back to make the scoreline a little less damning for Oliver Glasner.

Not to be outdone, Arsenal served up a statement of their own down on the south coast by comfortably beating Brighton 3-0.

Bukayo Saka netted a penalty and second-half strikes from Kai Havertz and former Albion attacker Leandro Trossard took the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League table before Liverpool played on Sunday.

Of the three title rivals, it was Liverpool whose title hopes took the biggest hit as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester United.

Luis Diaz opened the scoring and the Reds could have chalked up a few more goals before a Jarell Quansah error allowed Bruno Fernandes to strike from inside the centre circle, his effort evading the desperate arm of Caoimhin Kelleher.

Kobbie Mainoo curled in brilliantly but Aaron Wan-Bissaka's poor tackle on Harvey Elliott allowed Mohamed Salah to equalise from the penalty spot, leaving the Reds in second behind Arsenal and ahead of Man City.

Juventus return to winning ways after seeing off Fiorentina

Juventus ended a run of four games without a win with a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina at the Allianz Stadium.

The Old Lady had three disallowed goals in the first half, which were all ruled out for offside, but they did have one which counted when Federico Gatti reacted quickest to knock in the rebound.

Fiorentina tried hard to get on level terms in the second period as Nicolas Gonzalez hit the crossbar, alongside efforts from Lucas Beltran and Antonin Barak, but Juventus held strong to further strengthen their chances of returning to the Champions League.

Juventus thought they had taken the lead in the seventh minute when Gatti’s header found Weston McKennie inside the box before he neatly finished into the net, only for the linesman’s flag to cut celebrations short.

The hosts had another goal disallowed in the 12th minute as Filip Kostic’s cross caused problems in the Fiorentina box, Gatti smashed off the bar before Dusan Vlahovic poked home, but the goal was ruled out this time after a VAR review.

The home side had the ball in the net for a third time when Gleison Bremer headed a cross onto the post, with Gatti on hand to slot home from inside the six-yard box to finally take the lead.

Juventus had yet another goal disallowed on the half-hour mark when Federico Chiesa’s cross was nodded down by McKennie into the path of Vlahovic, who thought he scored against his old side only for VAR to rule that his team-mate was offside in the build-up.

It took 58 minutes for Fiorentina to hit their first effort on target when Barak decided to let rip from 25 yards, but Wojciech Szczesny was stood in the centre of the goal to snuff out the opportunity.

Back came Juventus in search for a second and Kostic delivered another dangerous cross into the Fiorentina six-yard box and Nikola Milenkovic’s touch took it past the woodwork.

Juventus had a chance to double their lead as Vlahovic twisted and turned to try shake off the defence, but Fiorentina got enough bodies back to safely clear.

Fiorentina started to look more dangerous and came within inches of an equaliser as Gonzalez cut inside and curled an audacious effort into the top corner only for Szczesny to tip on to the crossbar.

The away side made most of the running in the second period and came close to a leveller yet again when Maxime Lopez’s low cross into the box found Beltran.

His goalbound effort seemed to be going in, but team-mate M’Bala Nzola could not get out of the way as Fiorentina went three games without victory.
