Arsenal have taken control of the Premier League title race following Manchester City's dramatic 3-3 draw against Everton. The result leaves Mikel Arteta's side five points clear at the top of the table, though City have a game in hand.
Current Standings
With 35 games played, Arsenal sit on 76 points with a goal difference of +41. Manchester City are second on 71 points with a goal difference of +37, having played 34 matches. The Gunners will be crowned champions if they win their final three fixtures against West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace.
Potential Early Title Win
Arsenal could secure the title as early as Sunday if they beat West Ham and City fail to win against either Brentford or Crystal Palace in their next two outings. Should City win all their remaining games, the title race would extend to the final day of the season, with Arsenal needing to avoid dropping points.
Remaining Fixtures
- Arsenal: West Ham (H), Burnley (A), Crystal Palace (H)
- Manchester City: Brentford (A), Crystal Palace (H), West Ham (A)
Pep Guardiola acknowledged the pressure on his side, stating that City must 'win every game' to keep their title hopes alive. The dramatic collapse at Goodison Park has handed Arsenal a significant advantage in the run-in.
