Arsenal handed title-race boost by unusual run of fixtures

Arsenal are set to receive a major fixture boost following their November 21 trip to Newcastle, playing 11 consecutive matches inside London over a six-week span. The run includes seven home fixtures at Emirates Stadium and four short away trips across the capital. Mikel Arteta's side will not travel outside London again until facing Hull on January 16.

James Lloyd highlights that title rivals Manchester City face a much more grueling schedule, including trips to Barcelona, Newcastle, and Everton, alongside Carabao Cup quarter-final action. Having already exited the Carabao Cup against Fleetwood, Arsenal will benefit from reduced travel and fewer fixtures during the demanding winter period.
