As things currently stand, Man City are currently 2 points ahead of Arsenal. It is make or break for both team as City take on West Ham while the Gunners battle with Everton.

How can Arsenal win?
- A win won’t be enough. The ideal scenario will warrant an Arsenal win and a loss for Manchester City. In such a case, the Gunners will lift the trophy.
- A win for Arsenal and a draw for City will be highly tilted in Arsenal’s favour, since they have a slightly better goal difference.
Manchester City or Arsenal?
It has been a tight showdown between both the sides from the start of the tournament. Liverpool too came into the fray. But a string of poor performances meant they were no longer in the fight for the title. Manchester City have won it in the last 3 seasons and they can rewrite the history books by becoming the first team in PL history to win the league, 4 times on a row.
As for the Gunners, Arsenal too have been brilliant this season. Mikel Arteta and his boys have put up a grand fight over the past 37 match weeks. It has been over 21 years since Arsenal last won the league. The Gunners took the trophy way back in the 2003-04 season.
