The Premier League title race is heating up as Manchester City and Arsenal battle it out in the final week of the season. With both teams having played 36 games, there is little to separate them at this point.
If Arsenal and City finish on the same number of points, the title will be decided based on goal difference. If there is still no difference, the number of goals scored will be compared, followed by head-to-head matches and away goals in the head-to-head. In terms of head-to-head advantage, Arsenal currently has the upper hand over City.
Manchester City’s remaining fixtures include a tough match against Manchester United on May 12 and a game against Everton on May 19. If City wins both games, they will secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title. However, if they lose or draw against Tottenham on Tuesday, Arsenal could still have a chance to win the title if they beat Manchester United.
For Arsenal, their chances of winning the title rely on winning both of their remaining games. Their upcoming match against Manchester United on Sunday is crucial, as a win would put pressure on City heading into their game against Tottenham. If Arsenal were to beat Manchester United and City were to lose against Spurs, Arsenal would move ahead of City in the standings.
However, if Arsenal were to lose or draw against Manchester United, things become more complicated. In this scenario, it would depend on the results of the final day of the season. If City were to lose against Spurs and Arsenal were to equal or better their result, Arsenal could still win the title. On the other hand, if City were to draw against Spurs, Arsenal would need to win by a sufficient margin to maintain their superior goal difference.
In the event that Arsenal draws against Manchester United, they would be a point behind City. If City were to lose against Spurs, Arsenal would need to better their result on the final day to be crowned champions. However, if City were to draw against Spurs, Arsenal would again be two points behind them, and they would need to win and hope that City either draws or loses on the final day.
If Arsenal were to lose against Manchester United, they would remain two points behind City. In this scenario, they would need to beat Everton and hope that City fails to win against West Ham. Arsenal’s superior goal difference gives them an advantage in this situation. If City were to draw against Spurs, Arsenal would be three points behind them, and they would need to beat Everton and hope that City loses against West Ham to win the title.
Overall, the Premier League title race is still wide open, with both Manchester City and Arsenal having a chance to lift the trophy. The final week of the season will be crucial, and every point will matter. It will be an exciting finish to what has been a thrilling season in the Premier League.
