Its now a two-horse race as Manchester City and Arsenal aim to win this seasons Premier League.
Manchester Uniteds title hopes were slim even before a heavy loss to Liverpool and a draw with Southampton. As things stand, Arsenal sit five points clear of City thanks to their victory at Fulham on Sunday.
The Blues had closed the gap to two points a day prior after a hard-fought win at Crystal Palace.Citywill not play another Premier League match until April thanks to their involvement in the FA Cup and the international break while the Gunners still have one match remaining in the league before their players join up with their national teams.

With the title race now hotting up,MEN Sporthas taken a look at both Citys and Arsenals next six Premier League matches.
Leicester City (H) - Sunday, April 16
Brighton and Hove Albion (A) - Sunday, April 23
As a run of fixtures goes, that is perhaps not as favourable asPep Guardiolawould have liked. Nobody is quite sure which Liverpool you are going to get from one week to the next but if it is the one that beat United 7-0, the Blues face a tricky task.
You would expect City to beat Southampton and Leicester who are both struggling at the wrong end of the table but the real test comes at the end of the six-game spell. Roberto De Zerbis side have proven to be impressive this campaign while Fulham have also enjoyed a good return to the top flight.
However, it is that match against Arsenal that could make or breakCitystitle challenge. A win at the Etihad and cracks could show in Mikel Artetas team.
Crystal Palace (H) - Sunday, March 19
Leeds United (H) - Saturday, April 1
West Ham United (A) - Sunday, April 16
Manchester City (A) - Wednesday, April 26
On paper, Arsenal look to have the better set of fixtures to come. It will be interesting to see if they can take advantage of CitysFA Cupparticipation on Sunday when they host Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, with a win taking them eight points clear.
Leeds, West Ham and Southampton are all matches that Arteta will expect his team to win with ease considering their respective struggles this season. Liverpool is a lottery but you would expect Jurgen Klopps men to be up for it at Anfield.
That just leaves that clash with City. The extra two days restthe Gunnerswill get could be a difference maker with Arsenal knowing a win could seal the title.
