Which Of The Premier League Top Three Teams Are Likely To Survive The Fixtures Congestion In The Month of April?
Injured Arsenal players are expected to return to on-field action, but the fixture congestion may affect key players like Saliba and Bukayo Saka who are currently not fully fit.
Injuries to these two players may deter their progress towards winning the Premier League at the end of the season.
Liverpool, on the other hand, can play youngsters and win matches in the Premier League. Even if they lose their key players, the Jurgen Klopp kids are expected to step up in the upcoming matches.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are capable of winning all their matches in April 2024. They are in a good position to survive fixture congestion.
