Who will win the Premier League title? Analysing the fixture list and predicting the results as Liverpool and Arsenal try to topple Man City in the closest race in years

Saturday, March 2:

Forest are an awkward proposition at home but the injury-ravaged Reds should have Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai back.

Prediction: 1-2 Actual Result: 0-1

Sunday, March 3:

Manchester City vs Manchester United

They say form goes out the window in a derby but Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are firing on all cylinders and should blow Erik ten Hag's frustratingly fragile squad away.

Prediction: 4-1 Actual result: 3-1

Monday, March 4:

Sheffield United vs Arsenal

The hosts are all-but-relegated, so expect the suddenly free-scoring Gunners to win comfortably once again.
