Manchester City have won six out of the past eight Premier League titles, but Arsenal have not lifted the trophy since 2004
As the Premier League season approaches its finale, April could be the defining month for leaders Arsenal and closest challengers Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta's men are aiming for the club's first league title since 2004 - and with a nine-point lead and seven games remaining, have destiny in their own hands.
Second-placed City, though, are looking to push them all the way and have a game in hand and experience of getting over the line in this decisive period.
Pep Guardiola's side, looking to claw back the deficit, can increase the pressure when they host the leaders in a monumental fixture at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 19 April. And recent history shows this is the month where City excel and Arsenal flounder.
