Leading ranking in the English Premier League
Arsenal has 70 points from 31 matches, while City collected 61 points from 30 matches, with a match postponed to the latter.
When will Arsenal officially win the title? (scenarios)
Arsenal can reach 91 points if they win all their remaining matches, while City’s maximum is only 85 points, and despite City having a postponed match, in addition to an expected confrontation against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on April 19, the fate of the title is in the hands of the London team.
It is expected that the date of City’s match against Crystal Palace, which was postponed, will be determined later, and it may be held between the 32nd and 33rd rounds if they exit European competitions.
If Arsenal continues to achieve victories, including a victory over City, it can clinch the title two rounds before the end, and it may officially be crowned with a draw against West Ham on May 9.
However, if City falters in any match before that confrontation, while Arsenal continues to win, the title may be decided early. On the other hand, if City wins all of its remaining matches, including the confrontation with Arsenal, with the latter winning the rest of its matches, the Gunners will decide the title in the final round.
Arsenal also has the advantage in goal difference, as it is currently seven goals ahead of City.
According to the Opta sports statistics network, Arsenal’s chances of winning the title are 97.42%.
