The road to EPL championship- Arsenal or Manchester City?

[Blackjax]

On the 24th of May we are going to have our new Premier league champions and it's going to be Arsenal or Manchester City.

Currently Arsenal are sitting on top with 79 points as they have won 24 matches, drawn 7 and lost 5. Second are Manchester City with 77 points. City  have 23 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses. Arsenal and Manchester have been neck and neck for most of the season but the former was slightly ahead up until April when the two sides met which resulted in a loss for Arsenal. Manchester City were then looking as favourites but then two weeks later Everton held them for a 3-3 draw.  Now both the teams have two games left and Arsenal are looking favourites to win.

Scenarios- for Arsenal 

Two wins in their next two games will guarantee the championship for Arsenal. These matches are against two weaker teams- Burnley(#19) and Crystal palace(#15). Even if they draw one game apart from a win in the other they will still be crowned as champions. If Arsenal loses even one of the remaining two matches they would still be in contention for the title.

Scenarios-  for Manchester City 

Manchester needs to win both their remaining matches for a chance to win the Premier league title and even if Arsenal loses one and City wins their two games things might not be as simple as then it all comes down to numbers as both the teams would be on equal number of wins.

What happens if both teams finish on equal wins?

In that case the team with most points will win. You get 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.

What will happen if two teams have equal points?

In that case Goal Difference comes into play. The team with the bigger goal difference will win. But just in case if the goal difference is same too then the  team that scored the most number of goals in the league wins.

If both the teams are equal on that too then the championship will be decided by head to head results and in that case Manchester City will be crowned Champions as Arsenal and Manchester City played twice with one game ending in a draw and Manchester City winning the other.
