Manchester City or Arsenal, who has the easier run to the EPL title?
Both Manchester City and Arsenal have their task cut out, but which team has an easier run?
Are the odds stacked in favour of Manchester City or Arsenal? With just one point adrift of Arsenal and a game in hand, clearly, City are in charge of their fate.
