Arsenal get fresh Premier League title incentive with Manchester City fixture decision

Arsenal's early exit from this season's FA Cup could prove beneficial before the end of the month with regard to the Premier League title race.

The Gunners were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium towards the end of January as manager Mikel Arteta ultimately paid the price for naming a slightly weakened team with Nathan Ake's goal proving to be the difference between the two sides in the fourth-round tie.

As a result, it was the 2019 winners that faced Championship outfit Bristol City on Tuesday night and they made light work of the fixture with a brace from Phil Foden and a goal from Kevin De Bruyne sealing a 3-0 win at Ashton Gate to confirm Man City's place in the FA Cup quarter-final.
