Legit.ng reports that the victory means the two-way title race will go down to the final day on Sunday, May 19, with the Gunners holding a one-point lead over City with one week of the season remaining.

Presently, they (City) have a 58.7% chance of winning the EPL title while Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side take the remaining 41.3%.
Per artificial intelligence, that is the highest Arsenal's title chances have been in the 2023-2024 season.
Apart from supercomputer, many pundits and football fans believe that the title is still in Man City’s hands. If they win all their games from Tuesday, May 14, the EPL title will be theirs.
