- Arsenal top the Champions League League Phase table with two games left, while Man City sit 4th.

Arsenal Lead League, City Chase and Huge Week Ahead for English Clubs
We’re into the final two matchweeks of the Champions League League Phase and the pressure is rising for England’s top sides.
Arsenal’s goalless draw against Nottingham Forest at the weekend was frustrating, but it didn’t hurt them in Europe where they sit top of the League Phase table and control their destiny.
Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat to rivals United on Saturday added more pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side.
They remain 4th in the Champions League standings and will want to secure a top-eight finish to avoid the dreaded play-off round.
Meanwhile, Liverpool (9th), Tottenham (11th), Newcastle (12th) and Chelsea (13th) must win their upcoming fixtures to stay in contention.
