Arsenal and Liverpool's fixtures compared as the Premier League title race takes another twist
by Jake Stokes · football.londonArsenal only have a few days to recharge their batteries before they're back in action. The Gunners will host Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal.
Mikel Arteta's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at the weekend, meanwhile, Los Blancos lost 2-1 to Valencia. While Arsenal may fancy their chances against Real Madrid, who have shown signs of weakness recently, they're set to be without some important players.
The Gunners will be desperate to finally get their hands on a European trophy, but the Premier League title isn't out of the question just yet. So, with that being said, football.london has looked at Arsenal's final fixtures and how they compare to Liverpool.
Real Madrid (H) – Champions League – Tuesday, April 8
Huge game. While Arteta would probably much prefer to play Real Madrid at home in the second leg, Arsenal have a brilliant chance to establish a lead over the reigning European champions.
Brentford (H) – Premier League – Saturday, April 12
Fortunately, the Gunners are back at the Emirates Stadium a few days later. Arteta will be hoping the home faithful can give his players a send-off to remember before they jet off to the Spanish capital.
Real Madrid (A) – Champions League – Wednesday, April 16
Arsenal won't have long to prepare for this tie. If the Gunners can defeat Real Madrid, they'll play either Paris Saint-Germain or Aston Villa in the semi-final two weeks or so later.
Ipswich Town (A) – Premier League – Sunday, April 20
The fixtures come thick and fast for Arsenal this month. Again, the Gunners won't have long to prepare for their trip to Portman Road so Arteta will likely rotate his squad and make several changes.
Crystal Palace (H) – Premier League – Saturday, April 26
After a couple of games on the road, Arsenal are back at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners will be delighted to be back on home turf as the season comes to an end. If Liverpool continue to drop points, this could be a hugely significant game.
Meanwhile, Liverpool...
April 13 vs West Ham (H) at 2pm - Premier League
April 20 vs Leicester City (A) at 4.30pm - Premier League
April 27 vs Tottenham (H) at 4.30pm - Premier League
May 4 vs Chelsea (A) at 4.30pm - Premier League
May 11 vs Arsenal (H) at 4.30pm - Premier League
