Arsenal have won 11 games by just one goal in the Premier League this season and have struggled in recent weeks to look like title favourites under manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners are attempting to win their first league title since 2004 and regained their place at the top of the table with another 1-0 win over Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
Arteta’s final three games are against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace which won’t be easy for the Spaniard as they aim to end their title drought.
Lineker, speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, revealed that one side could take points away from the North London side as they fight to stay in the Premier League.
“They have Fulham at home and then West Ham away, now that will be tricky. West Ham are fighting for their lives and playing well at the moment.
“They’ve got pretty much as good a record as almost anyone since the turn of the year so that will be a tough one for Arsenal.
“Burnley at home, you’d strongly fancy Arsenal to win that one and then obviously Crystal Palace away on the final day of the season.
“So overall I would say Arsenal have got slightly easier fixtures than Man City but we know that City down the stretch are usually pretty good.
“I think it’s pretty much 50-50, isn’t it? I would say it’s pretty much 50-50 between Arsenal and Manchester City.”
Arsenal are far from their best at the moment and will need to lift their performances if they are to go all the way this season in what must be a perfect end to the season.
