How can Arsenal win the Premier League title? Here are details
With little over a weekto gobefore the Premier League season’s conclusion, Arsenal will be optimistic to win the title and end their two-decade wait to lift the English football’s holy grail. Arsenalwithtwo matches to go are on the brink of lifting the titlebutthat won’t happen without a helping hand. Sittingtopof the Premier League standings at the time of writing, Arsenal have 83 points from 36 matcheswhileManchester City in second place have 82 points from 35matches.
What needs to happen for Arsenal to win the Premier League?
The odds remain against the Gunners winning the Premier League title as Manchester City hold their fate in their own hands. Three wins in three matches for Pep Guardiola’s men will see them get crowned champions, having no bearing on what Arsenal do in their remaining twomatches. Considering the best scenario for Mikel Arteta’s men, they need to win both their matches and hope Man City don’t surpass their points tally.
Thiswould mean Arsenal finish on 89 points while Man City need to finish on 88 points or fewer. For City to finish with that point, they should lose at least one match or draw twomatchesin their remaining threematches.
Man City’s three matches remaining include Fulham (Saturday), Spurs (Tuesday) and West Ham United (May 18). Arsenal could be given a big helping hand by arch-rivals Spurs if they beat Man City on Tuesday, but having lost four consecutivematchesthe result ishighly unlikely.

What happens if bothCity,Arsenal end with the same points?
In caseboth Man City and Arsenal end with similarpoints, then the Premier League title will be decided on goal difference (GD). As things stand, Arsenal have a superior goal difference of +60while for Man City it is +54. Much will depend on how many goals City and Arsenal score to win their matches in the remainder of the season. Interestingly, Man City remain the only team in the history of the Premier League to win the title on GDhavingdone so in the 2011-12 season when they finished level with Man United on 89 points each.
Can Arsenal afford to draw against Manchester United?
Arsenal take on Man City’s arch-rivals Manchester United on Sunday at Old Traffordin a high-voltage clash.In case Arsenal draw the match, it will be big dents for their Premier League title challenge as they will only reach a maximum of 87 points, meaning City would need only five points to win from their remaining three matches. While this favours Man City, Arsenal can still win the title with a draw against United but will need both Spurs and West Ham to take points away from the defending champions.
