Premier League standings as of May 12

Currently, Arsenal has 86 points, temporarily leading the rankings, 1 point more than the 2nd ranked team Man City. However, Arsenal does not really hold the advantage as they have played 1 more match than Man City.

This midweek, Man City plays Tottenham in a make-up match and this is the decisive match of the season. If Man City wins, they will be 2 points ahead of Arsenal and will have the right to decide the final round. At that time, Man City only needs to beat West Ham in the final round to be sure of winning the championship.

Even if they beat Tottenham, Man City could still lose the title on the final day. That would happen if Man City were held to a draw by West Ham and Arsenal beat Everton. The two teams would then have 89 points and goal difference would be the first consideration.

Arsenal are leading the Premier League table but are at a disadvantage compared to Man City.

Arsenal's current goal difference is 61, 3 more than Man City. This is a big advantage for coach Mikel Arteta and his team.

In case Man City cannot win all 3 points against Tottenham, coach Pep Guardiola and his team will be at a disadvantage in the championship race before entering the final round. At that time, Man City will have at most 86 points with Arsenal (if they draw with Tottenham) or only 85 points (losing to Tottenham).

With this result, Man City, who want to win the championship, must win the final match against West Ham and hope that Arsenal will stumble against Everton. Therefore, regardless of the result of the match between Man City and Tottenham, the Premier League championship will be decided in the final round on May 19.

Experts rate Man City's current championship chances as higher. Squawka predicts Man City's championship chances at 58.69%, while Arsenal's are at 41.31%.
