How many points do Arsenal need to win Premier League title after Man City slip up again? | OneFootball

The Premier League title race has taken yet another twist

Arsenal have taken a massive step towards being crowned Premier League champions after another potentially significant night in the title race.

Both sides returned to Premier League action on Saturday after FA Cup and Champions League commitments with Arsenal leaving it late to beat Everton at the Emirates Stadium.

Viktor Gyokeres and Max Dowman were on target, moving Arsenal ten points clear of Man City prior to them kicking off against West Ham.

Despite taking the lead against the relegation-threatened side, Bernardo Silva’s goal was cancelled out three minutes later by former Gunners defender Konstantinos Mavropanos and City could not find a winner.

City still have a game in hand over Arsenal, and will welcome Mikel Arteta’side to the Etihad Stadium on April 19. But the title is no longer in their hands.

Arsenal now have seven games left of the Premier League season, while Man City have eight.

How many points do Arsenal need to win Premier League title?

With City still relying on Arsenal to drop points in the run-in, the Gunners have never been in a more comfortable position in the title race.

If Arsenal win all of their remaining Premier League fixtures, including beating City at the Etihad on April 19, they can be crowned champions with a point at West Ham on May 9.

Even if City also win every game but lose to Arsenal, they will still be 12 points behind the Gunners after playing Brentford on May 9, with just three games left to play.

If Man City drop points in any game before that, against Chelsea, Burnley or Everton, and Arsenal keep on winning, then the title will be decided even earlier.

Arsenal face Fulham at home on May 2, while City are away at Everton.

City will need to lose two games, including one against Arsenal, for the Gunners to be crowned champions in April.
