Arsene Wenger laid down the gauntlet to wealthy Manchester City on Saturday night by predicting his Arsenal team can land the title through greater consistency.
Arsenal will go back to the top of the table if they beat improving Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Sunday and will stay there if City slip up against Chelsea on Monday.
Wenger’s team face Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and City in the next two months, with a Champions League showdown against Bayern Munich and an FA Cup clash against Liverpool in between.

But Wenger believes City’s fragility on the road could be pivotal.
‘They are the team of the moment so everybody is drawing definite conclusions,’ said Wenger. ‘I don’t deny their strength, quality and the exceptional players they have. But let’s not forget they have lost four away games.’
They came earlier in the season, but City’s 5-1 demolition of Spurs last week had purists purring.

Their fixtures after Sunday look straightforward barring end-of-March visits to Old Trafford and the Emirates, plus Champions League and FA Cup ties against Barcelona and Chelsea.
City may be without Sergio Aguero but Aaron Ramsey has joined Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere on the Arsenal injured list, while Mathieu Flamini is suspended. Broken-nose victim Tomas Rosicky is in the squad, though, and Wenger believes his team are becoming harder to beat than Manuel Pelligrini’s.
‘Yes, they are the favourites,’ he said. ‘But they have more difficult fixtures. We know we can do very well away but, since December, I’ve said to the players that the Emirates will decide our season.’

City’s depth and spending power, says Wenger, would make landing the title ahead of them all the sweeter.
‘It’s an even bigger scalp for us. I think we can do it. If we can get over this period and the injured players come back fresh, it will be a big boost for the rest of the season.’
