"The title race is effectively a five-game mini-league, with Arsenal and City level on points and goal difference. City are top of the table because they have scored three goals more than Arsenal."
"Both teams have won league titles by the barest of margins. The impossible drama of Michael Thomas and Sergio Aguero's goals in 1989 and 2012 respectively has understandably obscured some of the detail."
"Equally, it should surprise nobody if they win the lot. If that happens, popcorn sales will go through the roof because we have never seen that kind of extended goal-difference shoot-out in an English title race."
Arsenal and Manchester City are currently tied in the Premier League title race, both on points and goal difference. City leads due to scoring three more goals than Arsenal. Historically, both teams have won titles by narrow margins, and the current situation could lead to a dramatic finish. With tough away games ahead, it is likely that one team will drop points. The potential for an extended goal-difference shoot-out adds excitement to the final matches of the season.
