Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City

The Gunners' humbling setback against Chelsea was a giant blow to their title hopes. Arsenal have played one fewer game than Chelsea, but they trail the Blues by seven points.

City boss Manuel Pellegrini knows the Gunners are still in it. In a quote passed along by Daily Star's Rhys Turrell, Pellegrini had this to say on the title chase: 

"

I don’t think it’s just between City and Chelsea–we must see what Liverpool are doing every week. Maybe Arsenal had a bad game today but they’re still only seven points behind Chelsea–I think all four teams have the same chance to win the title. 

"

The Gunners will benefit from getting this match on their home pitch, which will help a slumping attack. The Gunners have mustered just two goals in their past three matches across all competitions, but those were all on the road. In their last two home matches, Arsenal have won both and scored four in each.

Meanwhile, the Citizens' potent offense has not been as fierce on the road as it has been at home. Their last time on the pitch as an away team, the Citizens posted a 2-0 victory over Hull, but the Gunners will bring a stronger defense than Hull. 

Arsenal will frustrate Manchester City and pull out three points with a late goal.

Crystal Palace 0-2 Chelsea

Chelsea will continue their strong recent play into next week against a floundering Crystal Palace side. Palace haven't won a match since Feb. 8, which also happens to be the last time they scored more than a single goal in a match.  

They aren't going to end that skid against table leaders Chelsea, as the Blues have allowed more than a goal in a match just once since Dec. 17.  

Chelsea haven't battled this far only to lose to Crystal Palace. In other words, Palace can't pin their hopes on Chelsea having a letdown to secure a victory.

The Blues have an upcoming Champions League match on April 2, but Jose Mourinho is not going to let his side drop their standing in the EPL.  

Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham

The Reds are just four points back of Chelsea and have played one fewer game than the Blues. They are also coming on strong. As winners of four straight, the Reds have outscored their opponents 12-3 in their last three league matches, and all three of those came on the road.

Piers Morgan, by way of bringing down Arsenal, highlights the wonderful job Brendan Rodgers has done for Liverpool:

Obviously, none of this bodes well for Tottenham.

Sitting in fifth place in the table, Spurs have dropped two of their last three league matches. Now they must head to Anfield to try to slow down Liverpool's red-hot offense. 

The Reds do have a date on Wednesday with Sunderland while Tottenham will be idle until the match. Still, that won't weaken the Reds enough to keep them from victory.
