Following Manchester City's 2-1 win over Arsenal, City now controls their destiny with a game in hand (vs. Burnley). Both teams have 5-6 matches left. City is favored by bookmakers, but statistical models (Opta) surprisingly still give Arsenal a 73% chance. If City wins all remaining games, they win the title.
Remaining Games (As of April 20, 2026)
Manchester City (67 pts, ~6-7 games left): Burnley (H - pending), Crystal Palace, West Ham, Fulham, Newcastle, Aston Villa (H).
Arsenal (70 pts, 5 games left): Newcastle United (H), Fulham (H), West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Crystal Palace (A).
Key Factors
Game in Hand: City's match against Burnley is crucial. A win moves them level on points with Arsenal and ahead on goal difference.
Run-in Complexity: Arsenal faces challenging away games at West Ham and Crystal Palace, though all their opponents are in the bottom half.
Tie-breakers: If points, goal difference (for Arsenal, for City), and goals scored are identical, City holds the advantage due to a superior head-to-head record (1 win, 1 draw).
Note: The Premier League title race is exceptionally tight, with both teams capable of dropping points, making this one of the most intense run-ins in recent years.
