Manchester City did their job in keeping the title race alive by beating Brentford with a degree of comfort on Saturday evening, and by hook or by crook, Arsenal responded.

A fraught occasion in east London, was ultimately decided by a last-gasp VAR intervention that ruled out a Callum Wilson equalizer that will have mammoth ramifications at both ends of the table.

Leandro Trossard’s deflected strike ultimately sealed the tensest of triumphs for the Gunners, but their victory nonetheless means a giant leap towards the Premier League crown was taken.

They’re now just two wins away from ending their 22-year wait for a title, having finished second in three consecutive seasons and threatened to blow a sizeable advantage this time around. Man City won’t stop until the very last moment, but Sunday’s triumph at the London Stadium felt hugely significant for Mikel Arteta’s men.

With that in mind, here’s how Man City and Arsenal’s remaining Premier League fixtures compare.

Man City, Arsenal’s Remaining Premier League Fixtures

Man City	Arsenal
Crystal Palace (H) – May 13	—
Bournemouth (A) – May 19	Burnley (H) – May 18
Aston Villa (H) – May 24	Crystal Palace (A) – May 24

Arsenal found a way to restore their five-point buffer at the summit, owing much to David Raya. The Spaniard expertly denied Mateus Fernandes from point-blank range just minutes before Trossard broke the deadlock, and the Gunners’ No. 1 was then fouled by Pablo, chalking off Wilson’s stoppage-time equalizer.

That was the biggest test left on their calendar. Well, until they encounter Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest at the end of the month.

Now, they’re two domestic wins away from glory. First up are the already-relegated Burnley on May 18. The dismal Clarets at least offered a pulse against Aston Villa, but aren’t going to be particularly motivated to derail Arsenal’s charge.

The Gunners conclude the campaign on the road, with Selhurst Park the potential site for their trophy lift on the final day of the season. Crystal Palace will be prioritising the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano, so Arsenal are likely to face up against a heavily rotated side.

Man City are also in action against the Eagles, their rearranged fixture with Oliver Glasner’s side arriving this coming Wednesday. The Eagles have occasionally proven a thorn in City’s side in recent years—most notably triumphing over Pep Guardiola’s men in last year’s FA Cup final.

The Cityzens then have this term’s FA Cup final to concern themselves with, the meeting with Chelsea coming next Saturday. Three days after the Wembley showdown, they are back in Premier League action away at Bournemouth.

The arduous trip to the Vitality Stadium is made all the more challenging by Bournemouth’s push for European qualification, which will ensure the Cherries are chomping at the bit. With the south coast side unbeaten in 15 matches across all competitions and last losing on their own pitch in their first game of 2026, the clash will prove a mighty test for the Cityzens.

City’s finale comes at home to Aston Villa, just four days after the Midlands side contest the Europa League final with Freiburg. The result of that fixture will impact Villa’s motivation in their last outing, with victory over the Germans guaranteeing them a place in next season’s Champions League. Either way, it promises to be a tough test for Guardiola’s side.
