Arsenal and Manchester City are pushing each other all the way, with every point proving crucial in the race for the crown.
The two powerhouses clashed at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, April 19, 2026, in a tense and cagey encounter.
Pep Guardiola’s side came out on top with a 2-1 victory, thanks to a decisive winning goal from Erling Haaland, further tightening the title race.
As it stands, Mikel Arteta’side sit top of the table with 70 points and a +37 goal difference.
However, Manchester City are only three points behind and still have a game in hand, with just a single goal separating the two sides in the standings.
Ronaldo's Premier League prediction
With the season reaching a critical phase, Ronaldo was asked to give his prediction during a recent appearance.
The Portuguese legend met renowned boxing promoter Frank Warren at a Queensberry Promotions event, where the conversation turned to football.
Warren, a known Arsenal supporter, asked Ronaldo who he believes will win the Premier League title. Ronaldo gave a blunt response, saying:
“Hey, you are not going to win the league.”
His remarks have been widely interpreted as backing Manchester City to overtake Arsenal and ultimately win the 2025/26 Premier League title.
How many points City need to win
The result leaves Arsenal on 70 points, with City three behind and holding a game in hand.
What once looked like a comfortable lead has now shrunk dramatically, with the Gunners seeing a nine-point cushion vanish within a week.
For Mikel Arteta and his squad, the pressure is mounting: another near miss would echo recent seasons, where they have fallen short at the final hurdle.
City, meanwhile, are gathering momentum at the perfect time, and a trip to Burnley offers a chance to go top, provided they win with a convincing margin.
With six matches left, Guardiola’s side can still reach 85 points.
Arsenal, with five fixtures remaining, can also hit that same total, meaning any slip could prove decisive.
Goal difference may yet separate the two, with Arsenal currently holding a slender edge.
