Arsenal could open six‑point gap over Man City with wins vs Newcastle and Fulham
Former England midfielder Paul Merson says Arsenal can go six points clear of Manchester City if they win their next two Premier League games before City play again. City currently lead the table only on goals scored after a narrow 1‑0 win at Burnley on Wednesday night, with both teams level on points and goal difference. Arsenal host Newcastle this weekend, then face Fulham before City travel to Everton. Merson, speaking on Sky Sports, stressed that winning both matches is a "must" to put pressure back on the champions. The Gunners have a chance to reclaim the summit and force City into a chasing role as the title race enters its decisive phase. For Nigerian fans following the EPL, this swing could decide which club lifts the trophy and influence betting, fantasy league choices, and bragging rights among supporters. Will Arsenal’s back‑to‑home victories be enough to seize the advantage, or will City’s resilience keep them ahead in the final stretch?
