It's tense at the top and nail-biting at the bottom. With fewer than 10 rounds of games left, we take a look at how the Premier League title race, the fight for Champions League places and the relegation battle are shaping up. At the summit, Arsenal enjoy a seven-point lead over Manchester City but have played a game more. Looking at the remaining fixtures, the Gunners have a slightly easier run-in on paper, although their eight remaining games include what could be a title-defining trip to the Etihad on 19 April. Beyond that, it is worth noting that four of Arsenal's next five league games are at home against mid-table sides while four of Manchester City's next five are away, including a trip to Chelsea.
