How and when Arsenal can win the Premier League title after Man City’s draw at Everton

Aston Villa (H) – Sunday May 24

How soon could Arsenal be crowned champions?

The soonest Arsenal could win the Premier League title is May 13, when City face Crystal Palace. For that to happen, City would need to pick up one or no points from their games against Brentford and Palace, and Arsenal would need to beat West Ham in between. That would give City an insurmountable gap with two games left to play.

Arsenal could also win the title in their final home game of the season against Burnley. If City fail to beat one of Brentford or Palace, and Arsenal win their games against West Ham and Burnley, then City will find themselves too far behind to catch Mikel Arteta’s men.

How can Arsenal guarantee the title?

It’s pretty simple. If Arsenal win all three of their remaining games, they will be champions regardless of what City do. The maximum number of points Arsenal can secure is 85, while City’s is only 83.

City will have a game in hand on Arsenal until May 19, when Guardiola’s side take on Bournemouth. If Arsenal have not already won the title, they could do it then if City fail to beat the Cherries and Arsenal have beaten both West Ham and Burnley.

Failing that, it will go down to the last game of the season. Should both sides win all their games between now and then, City would be two points behind Arsenal going into the last game. A draw could even be enough for the Gunners, depending on goal difference.

How can City catch Arsenal?

Dropped points could still be costly for Arsenal, however. Should City win all four of their remaining games and Arsenal win two but draw one of their remaining three, it would come down to goal difference on the final day. If Arsenal win two but lose one of their three games, and City win all of theirs, Guardiola’s side would win the title by a point.
