Man City’s recent victory over Tottenham means they will win the Premier League if they defeat West Ham in the final match; However, Arsenal can still take the throne if Man City slips

Pep Guardiola’s team regained the top spot with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the early morning of May 15. They are 2 points ahead of second place Arsenal, meaning Man City only needs a win against West. Ham is in the final round to win his fourth consecutive Premier League title, regardless of Arsenal’s results.

However, Arsenal still has hope of beating Man City on the final matchday, when Mikel Arteta’s team welcomes Everton.

So what do the Gunners need to do to win the Premier League trophy on May 19 – and will the title really be decided by goal difference?

Enal does not have the right to self-determination, so the mandatory condition for Mikel Arteta’s team to win the championship is to WIN AGAINST EVERTON in the final match. If they lose, or draw, they will lose the throne – regardless of the results of Man City’s remaining matches.

Here are two scenarios for The Gunners to win the Premier League championship this season.

2 scenarios for Arsenal to win the 2023/24 Premier League

Scenario one: Arsenal wins against Everton and Man City loses to West Ham

Accordingly, Arsenal is REQUIRED to defeat Everton on the final match day and Man City lose to West Ham at Etihad’s home field. If the above scenario is realized, Arsenal will then have 89 points, and Man City will have 88 – the championship will belong to the London Gunners.

Scenario 2: Arsenal wins and Man City draws with West Ham

Looking at the rankings, this season’s championship race could still end with both Arsenal and Man City tied on points. For that scenario to happen, Arsenal must defeat Everton, and Man City must draw with West Ham. Then the two teams will have the same 89 points.

However, Arsenal’s goal difference is currently 1 goal higher than Man City’s, meaning Mikel Arteta’s team will win the championship if the two teams have equal points in the final round.

Thus, the drama will be pushed to its peak in the final round when Arsenal must win and wait for Man City’s results to determine the championship. In general, Mikel Arteta and his students’ chances of ascending the throne are still but quite slim.

It is expected that the final round of the 2023/24 Premier League will be played in the same frame
