Arsenal legend Ian Wright has pinpointed the four fixtures that will define the Gunners’ season after their 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
The Gunners are currently leading the Premier League after 30 matches with Mikel Arteta’s side six points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, although the Citizens have one game in hand.
Arsenal also have to face Pep Guardiola’s outfit on April 26 in a crucial encounter with that fixture the start of a tough run of matches against Chelsea, Newcastle United and Brighton.
