According to The Analyst, Arsenal’s chance of winning the title dropped by about 11% from more than 97% to 86% after the chain reaction over the weekend.
The Gunners remain in pole position for their first title since 2004, and only have to win their remaining matches, particularly beating Man City at the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola’s side have taken a massive leap as their chance of winning the title grew to more than 13% after they gained an advantage in the title race.
The Citizens have to win their remaining seven matches and outscore Arsenal to win the title, which will be a major disappointment for the Gunners.
The top-four race also had a dramatic move at the weekend: Aston Villa drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest, Chelsea lost to City, Man Utd lost to Leeds, and Liverpool beat Fulham.
The relegation battle also had a little shake-up. West Ham crushed Wolves to jump out, while Tottenham’s loss to Sunderland dropped them to 18th place.

Their last league win was in December, and manager Roberto de Zerbi admits that the fear of getting relegated is creating problems for his players.
“I think so. If you ask me, I am 46 years old. I have much more experience than the players, and I am positive absolutely because I know them as guys and players and for that I am positive, not because we are Tottenham or because I have to do positive things,” he said as quoted by ESPN.
