There are only three Premier League matchdays remaining in the 2023/24 season and the race for the title is hotter than ever. The Gunners lead the standings although Manchester City are favourites to clinch an unprecedented fourth straight crown as they have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Liverpool have all but dropped out of the title race after back-to-back slips against Everton and West Ham. BeSoccer looks at where each of the contenders stand and how their run-ins compare.

Manchester City - 79 points (+50 goal difference)

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City can go down in the Premier League history books if they win their remaining four games of the season, as they would be crowned champions for the fourth consecutive time, something no club in the English top flight has ever achieved in history. 

City will be pushed to their limit in the coming weeks as they aim to defend the Premier League and FA Cup. But Guardiola's men have proven their ability to be relentless on the title run-in and will expect to win the league now with a kind set of fixtures to come.

Fixtures to come:

May 4th: Wolves (H)

May 11th: Fulham (A)

May 14th: Tottenham (A)

May 19th: West Ham (H)

Arsenal - 80 points (+57)

Arsenal are seeking revenge on Manchester City, who snatched the Premier League title from them last season after a late slump by the Gunners, who were top of the domestic standings for much of last season

Arteta's side were tipped to be crowned champions this season but a heavy defeat to Aston Villa handed the top spot to the Cityzens. However, recent victories over Chelsea and Tottenham are proof that the Emirates Stadium outfit will push all the way to the end to spoil the Sky Blues' party.

Fixtures to come:

May 4th: Bournemouth (H)

May 11th: Manchester United (A)

April 19th: Everton (H)

Liverpool - 75 points (+41)

Jurgen Klopp's tenure at Liverpool is at risk of petering out after the exhausted Reds suffered an unexpected slump in recent weeks. They was no reaction to an Europa League exit against Atalanta as the impact of an injury crisis earlier in the campaign appears to have worn down Klopp's squad.

The Anfield outfit would need a miracle to send Jurgen Klopp off with the Premier League title under his belt after a defeat in the Merseyside derby and a draw against the Hammers have all but ended their domestic title bid.

Fixtures to come:

May 5th: Tottenham (H)

May 11th: Aston Villa (A)

May 19th: Wolves (H)
