Title-chasing Manchester City will face league leaders Arsenal in a significant Premier League match on Sunday. Arsenal, currently six points ahead of second-placed City, are aiming for their first English title since 2004. Arsenal's recent form has seen them lose the League Cup final against City, suffer an FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Southampton, and lose to Bournemouth in the top-flight. Their progress to the Champions League semi-finals involved a goalless draw against Sporting Lisbon, securing a 1-0 aggregate victory. Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice acknowledged the need for improvement, stating, "We have to perform better than we did against Bournemouth and probably Sporting as well." Meanwhile, Chelsea, with only one win in their last seven league games, are in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification. They will play against Manchester United on Saturday, trailing United by seven points and Liverpool by four points with six games remaining. Liverpool, after being eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain, will seek to recover in the Merseyside derby against Everton on Sunday. Reds midfielder Ryan Gravenberch emphasized the importance of the match for their Champions League qualification bid.
