"Their closest rivals Manchester City, however, have a game in hand, which means that five-point lead is not necessarily as comfortable as it looks. At this point, sites like BetGoodwin football betting will have Arsenal as the clear favourites, but it's not over yet, and this season has been full of twists and turns as both Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola's sides have failed to take numerous opportunities to run away with it."
"The simplest outcome here is simply that Arsenal win their final two games against Burnley and Palace, in which case they will win the league regardless of what City do. However, if Arsenal beat Burnley, then City need to beat both Palace and Bournemouth to take the title race to the final day."
"First up for Guardiola's men is tonight's game against Palace at the Etihad Stadium, and anything other than three points means Arsenal can celebrate wrapping up the title in front of their own fans with a victory over Burnley on Monday night. Alternatively, if City win this evening and Arsenal beat Burnley, there's still a chance for the title to be decided in that Bournemouth game, with a draw again enough in that game to mathematically confirm Arteta's side as champions without them kicking a ball."
Arsenal hold a narrow advantage with two games left, while Manchester City have a game in hand, making the five-point lead potentially less secure. Arsenal can secure the title if they win their final two matches against Burnley and Palace, regardless of City results. If Arsenal beat Burnley but do not win the title immediately, City must win both their remaining matches against Palace and Bournemouth to keep the race alive. City’s next match is against Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium, where any result other than three points would allow Arsenal to clinch the title with a win over Burnley. If City win and Arsenal beat Burnley, the Bournemouth match could decide the title, with a draw potentially confirming Arsenal as champions without further play. Goal difference could also play a role, though it is considered unlikely.
