All of the pressure remains on Arsenal with little to go in the league season
Manchester City are marching closer to clinching the Premier League title after defeating Everton 3-0 on Sunday at Goodison Park. Excellence from Ilkay Gundogan pushed the team forward as the midfielder was involved in all three goals, scoring two and assisting Erling Haaland for the other. With the victory, City are now on 85 points with three matches remaining as Arsenal were blown out 3-0 by Brighton at the Emirates. 1 Manchester City 35 27 4 4 61 85 2 Arsenal 36 25 6 5 41 81
In control of their own destiny, City can lift the title as early as Saturday, May 19th if Arsenal lose to Nottingham Forest or on Sunday, May 20th with a victory over Chelsea. The clubs have been neck and neck all season but City's recent head-to-head win over the Gunners could prove to be just enough to establish their Premier League supremacy.
Behind 36 league goals in 33 matches from Haaland, City have been a tough side to slow down and they're now undefeated in 22 consecutive matches in all competitions. After losing to Brighton, the Gunners are still four points behind City on 81 but have played 36 games compared to City's 35. The maximum amount of points that Arsenal can pick up is now 87 compared to City's max of 94.
