Permutations of the Premier League title race this week as Arsenal and Man City prepare for the trophy fight on the final day

The winners of the 2023/24 Premier League title will be decided on the final day of the season as Arsenal and Manchester City push each other all the way.

Liverpool were in the race, but can no longer mathematically win the championship, meaning it’s a head-to-head between these two fabulous teams.

The Gunners’ 1-0 win over Manchester United was their 27th league victory this season – a club record.

Above all, it is this result which guarantees that we are going to have a hell of a week.

Arsenal

Arsenal can still become English champions for the first time since 2004, and they may not even have to win their final game against Everton.

The Gunners are currently one point ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side, so if City lose both their games, the Gunners would be crowned champions even if Everton beat them on the final day.

Mikel Arteta’s men would also become champions if City collect just one point from their final two matches and the Gunners lose, winning on goal difference.

However, we have to take into account that City haven’t lost in the league since December, so it’s very unlikely they’ll drop five points from their last two.

A couple of draws for the Citizens would leave them with 87 points, meaning Arsenal would take the title from City with the spoils shared against the Toffees.

Another fascinating scenario in which Arsenal would win the title on goal difference would be if Tottenham held City to a draw.

If that were to happen, it would mean the Gunners would win the Premier League title on the final day provided they match City’s result.

Arsenal would also be crowned champions if they beat Everton and City took just four points from their last two games.

Manchester City

For City to win a fourth consecutive Premier League title, they will likely need to win their remaining two games.

If they beat Tottenham and West Ham, Guardiola’s men will be champions of England again.

Of course, there are other scenarios that will see them crowned champions, but that involves both themselves and Arsenal losing points.

If City lose to Tottenham, they could still win the championship on the final day with a win over West Ham as long as Arsenal lose or draw against Everton.

If the points are shared at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Citizens would pimp the Gunners to the title if they beat the Irons and the Gunners drop points against the Toffees.

The most exciting way for City to win the championship is to beat their opponents Arsenal, but the Citizens manage to close the gap on goal difference, which stands at three.

So we could get to a point where Arsenal and Man City try to outdo each other to become champions.

But we must not forget that despite all these possible scenarios, the title is in City’s hands because if they beat Tottenham and West Ham, they will become champions again.
