Arsenal's next game as Mikel Arteta's men set for Man City battle

Arsenal's Premier League title race with Manchester City is on course to go the distance. The Gunners are eight points clear of Pep Guardiola's side after they beat Crystal Palace 4-1 before the international break.

Mikel Arteta's men have won 22 of their 28 league games this season, losing only three times. With ten games remaining, they are on target to win their first league title in nearly 20 years.

After stretching their lead at the top last weekend, Premier League football has taken a backseat for two weeks for the final round of international fixtures of the season.

Plenty of Arsenal's stars have travelled across the world to represent their respective nations. Arteta will be hoping to welcome his players back injury-free ahead of a crucial two months of football.

Once the fortnight of international football comes to an end, the Gunners will face six opponents in April - including tough fixtures against Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea. However, first up, they face relegation-threatened Leeds in their first game back.

Leeds travel to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday April 1, with kick-off at 3pm. The game takes place after Man City's mouth-watering clash with Liverpool in the days early kick-off.

Javi Gracia's side are currently 14th in the Premier League table, two points above the relegation zone. Should they lose to the Gunners, they could find themselves back in the relegation zone.

After hosting the Whites in north London, Arsenal travel to Liverpool and West Ham before facing another struggling side Southampton on Friday April 21.
