Arsenal get title race boost as Premier League 'reject' Man City request

Manchester City must play four matches in 12 days to close out the Premier League season, after the Premier League rejected their request to rearrange fixtures. City sit three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, but their run to the Carabao Cup final (which they won 2-0) and the FA Cup final has forced two league games — home to Crystal Palace and away at Bournemouth — to be rescheduled. The fixture congestion gives Arsenal a potential boost in the title race.
