The Gunners’ push for the title continues when they face Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Monday, May 18, while City faces Bournemouth on May 19 at the Vitality Stadium.
Arsenal will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the final day on May 24, while Manchester City will host Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium.
When Arsenal could win title
The Premier League title race is open to both teams, but Arsenal have the advantage as they are two points ahead and in control of their destiny.
Thus, it is a question of when Arsenal could win the title, and if not, Manchester City can only win it on the final day if things go wrong for Arsenal, starting against Burnley.
As noted by the Premier League, if Arsenal beat Burnley on Monday and Manchester City fail to beat Bournemouth, the Gunners would be crowned champions.
However, if both teams win their matches, Arsenal’s potential celebrations for their first title in 22 years will have to wait until the final day.
Manchester City can still win the title on the final day, if Arsenal lose or draw one of their remaining matches and City beat Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Regardless, Arsenal’s trophy lift will take place on the final day, as Manchester City will play a day ahead of them, and if the Gunners become champions, they'll be first to celebrate at Selhurst Park.
Guardiola eyes final day battle
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is looking forward to taking the Premier League title race with Arsenal to the final day of the season.
Guardiola admits that it will not be an easy match against the Cherries, who are fighting for a chance to compete in the Champions League next season.
The Andoni Iraola-led side are on a 17-match unbeaten run in the league, and Guardiola hopes to snap that and take the race to the final day.

“We know exactly what we have to do. It’s not complicated, we have to win and then against Aston Villa,” he said as quoted by Mancity.com.
“All we want is to be with our people at the end and try to fight for the title and extend it to Aston Villa. To do that, we need to beat Bournemouth.”
