City, as a result, are now back above Arsenal in the standings and targeting Liverpool at the summit. The trip to the Vitality Stadium marks the beginning of a crucial four-game run for City ahead of the final international break of the season next month. The following weekend, City face Liverpool themselves before heading to Brighton & Hove Albion ahead the final pause before the sprint to the finish line. They also face Arsenal immediately after the hiatus on March 31 at the Etihad. Arsenal and Liverpool have already gone toe-to-toe twice this season, meaning City could potentially hold all the cards in that respect.
