Arsenal fixtures: Final six games in Premier League title race after Southampton draw
Arsenal's pursuit of Premier League glory took another bump as they slumped to a 3-3 draw with Southampton on Friday.
Having built a reputation for throwing away leads recently, the Gunners had to come from behind this time around but, all that heart aside, the reality is three straight draws have well and truly opened the door to Manchester City.
Here's who Mikel Arteta's side will face in their final six Premier League games of the season as they target a first title since 2003/04.
Manchester City vs Arsenal
Has anyone told you how big a game this is? Because, y'know, in the context of the Premier League title race, it's pretty defining.
The Gunners could establish a large lead at the top of the table by avoiding defeat at the Etihad and with City in such unstoppable form right now, anything other than a loss will be a great result.

Arsenal vs Brighton
Neal Maupay may be nowhere to be seen at Brighton these days, but the Seagulls' trip to the Emirates in mid-May will be tasty regardless.
