Arsenal find themselves in a dream position – second in the Premier League table and genuine contenders for the title. However, April presents a daunting gauntlet of matches that could see them drop crucial points. Here, we focus on two fixtures that could see Mikel Arteta's side drop crucial points in the title race this month.
1. Arsenal Vs Chelsea (23rd April, 2024)
First up, the Gunners face a resurgent Chelsea side on April 23rd. The Blues, under Mauricio Pochettino have found a rhythm, boasting a strong defensive unit. Though they may not be the dominant force of the past, Chelsea possess the quality to punish any Arsenal complacency, especially with the in-form Cole Palmer leading the attack.
This is a classic London derby, adding extra spice to the occasion. The Emirates Stadium crowd will be electric, but Arsenal must be wary of Chelsea's counter-attacking prowess.
2). Tottenham Hotspur Vs Arsenal (28th April, 2024)
Just as the dust settles on the Chelsea clash, Arsenal face their bitter rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, on April 28th. This North London derby is always fiery, and with bragging rights and potential title implications on the line, expect a fierce encounter.
Tottenham are a well-drilled unit, boasting pace on the flanks and goalscoring threats. The hostile atmosphere of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be another hurdle for Arsenal to overcome.
