The outcome of the Liverpool versus Man City match has implications for Arsenal in the Premier League title chase.

Arsenal will ascend to the summit of the Premier League standings for the ensuing three weeks as a result of the recent developments involving its main competitors, Manchester City and Liverpool. On Saturday, Arsenal emerged victorious over Brentford with a 2-1 scoreline, thanks to a decisive goal from Kai Havertz in the closing stages of the match. This goal proved to be the determining factor, as it came after Declan Rice’s initial goal was nullified by Yoane Wissa.

Arsenal, under the leadership of Mikel Arteta, have significantly improved in recent months. Initially, it seemed that only Manchester City and Liverpool would be contenders for the title, as Arsenal were trailing behind by a considerable margin. Arsenal had achieved a perfect record in their previous eight games following their loss to Fulham. This impressive streak includes a victory against Liverpool and an astonishing total of 33 goals scored.

Arsenal’s recent performances have been dominant, but they required a different approach against the Bees last weekend. Havertz scored for the fourth game in a row. The German’s belated header ensured that Arsenal could only maintain their position at the top if Manchester City and Liverpool divided the points at Anfield, which is precisely what occurred.

John Stones scored the first goal, but Alexis Mac Allister equalized with a penalty kick when Ederson, who was later substituted due to an injury, fouled Darwin Nunez in the penalty area. Although there are still 21 days left in March, there is not much potential for significant changes or developments during the remaining period of the month.

The reason for this is that next weekend, the FA Cup quarter-final matches are given higher importance. Liverpool will be playing against Manchester United, while Manchester City will be facing Newcastle. Arsenal was eliminated in the third round. However, their scheduled opponents, Chelsea, are still participating in the competition, which is why their match has also been rescheduled.

Following the international break, the last weekend of March will feature two significant matches. Liverpool will host Brighton at Anfield on Sunday, March 31, while Man City will face Arsenal at Etihad Stadium a few hours later.

Arsenal will enter the match against the current champions in first place. However, Liverpool has the opportunity to reclaim the top spot, even if only temporarily, by avoiding a loss against Brighton. Arsenal has upcoming matches against Tottenham, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Manchester United. Similarly, Liverpool and Manchester City also have a challenging schedule ahead.

The outcome of the title battle may be significantly influenced by the European games, as all three teams are still competing in the knockout stages. Manchester City have already secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while Liverpool are on the verge of advancing to the next round of the Europa League after a resounding victory against Sparta Prague.

Arsenal, on the other hand, needs to reverse a one-goal disadvantage against Porto in order to progress in the upcoming match at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Last season, the Gunners’ hopes of winning the title were shattered at this same moment when William Saliba sustained a back injury, causing him to be absent for the rest of the season.

At this point, it is premature to determine the outcome of the title fight. Nevertheless, the fact that both Man City and Liverpool did not win undoubtedly works in favor of Arsenal. If the Gunners manage to avoid losing at the home of the champions later this month, which they have not been able to achieve in the past seven years, it might provide them with a significant advantage in the title race, considering that both teams have similar schedules and opponents.
