Points Man City needs to win EPL title

Pep Guardiola’s side can still reach a maximum of 85 points this season. Arsenal, with five matches remaining, can also reach the same total, meaning any slip-up from either side could prove decisive.
Goal difference may ultimately separate the two teams, with Arsenal currently holding a slight advantage.
