Guardiola will have a battle on his hands to make it five titles in a rowThe Premier League fixtures have been released, and Manchester City are set to face a gruelling series of matches that could determine the outcome of the Premier League title race. The 2024/2025 season's fixture list reveals potential title-deciding games, with City scheduled to play Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Spurs all within a four-week period. Despite the daunting run of games, Guardiola is unlikely to be fazed, having led his team to an unprecedented fourth consecutive title last season. They also struggled against Arsenal in both Premier League fixtures and, although they did beat neighbours United in the league, they did lose out on the FA Cup to Erik ten Hag's side back in May. The winter gauntlet isn't the only tricky run of fixtures City will have to keep an eye on.
