When could Man City or Arsenal win the Premier League? What Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta need to clinch title | 24F596N | 2024-05-12 16:08:01
Manchester City have kept the pressure on Arsenal after temporarily moving back to the top of the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola's side eased to a 4-0 win over Fulham on Saturday afternoon with Josko Gvardiol scoring either side of Phil Foden's strike, with Julian Alvarez adding a late penalty.
Arsenal meanwhile are in action away to Manchester United on Sunday. United, while in pretty woeful form, can do their rivals a huge favour if they can get a win or a draw at Old Trafford, presenting their neighbours with the chance to seal the trophy next week.
City have that vital game in hand against Tottenham to come on Tuesday night.
What do Man City and Arsenal need to do to win the Premier League title?
It is now remarkably simple for City – win their final two games against Tottenham and West Ham and they will be crowned champions for a historic fourth successive year.
Arsenal, meanwhile, need to win their remaining two games and hope that City slip up in one of their final two games.
Significantly for City, their 4-0 win over Fulham has greatly bolstered their goal difference, with Arsenal's advantage in that department now reduced to just two goals.
What are Man City and Arsenal's remaining fixtures?
Arsenal head to Old Trafford tomorrow where they have won just one of their last 16 games. Erik ten Hag's side put a dagger through Liverpool's title hopes last month and may have another surprise up their sleeve as they look to keep their own European qualification hopes alive.
On the final day, Arteta's side will host Everton who have enjoyed a resurgent few weeks to steer themselves clear of the relegation zone.
</div> After easing past Fulham, City are back in the capital on Tuesday night to take on Ange Posteoglou's Tottenham.
Spurs have caused many an upset against Guardiola's side over the years and have their own faint top four hopes to keep alive.
On the final day, the defending champions are at home for the visit of West Ham whose form – and hopes of another season in Europe – has taken a hit in recent weeks.
When is the earliest Man City can win the Premier League title?
After City's win over Fulham, the pressure is firmly on Arsenal to keep the title race alive.
If the Gunners slip up and lose against Manchester United on Sunday, City havethe chance to win the league by beating Tottenham in midweek.
However, should both teams win their matches next weekend, the title race is guaranteed to go to the final weekend.
Can Liverpool still win the Premier League?
City's win over Fulham means Liverpool are officially out of the title race. Jurgen Klopp's side are sat on 78 points, seven behind City as of Saturday afternoon with two games left to play.
