It has been an ongoing fight all season between these two, although, Liverpool were also involved, but have slipped away in recent weeks.

With only a few points separating them, there are many twists and turns still to come before one gets their hands on some silverware. 

Here, talkSPORT.com takes a look at the title race run-in…

Arsenal lead the way but City have a game in hand

Arsenal - 1st

Arsenal will have been reliving memories of last season following a damaging loss to Aston Villa at the Emirates.

The Gunners looked to be going from strength to strength, but they lost their grip on the title race against Villa.

Mikel Arteta's side experienced a collapse last year and they will be keen to prevent that happening again.

But as things stand, the title is now Man City's to lose.

They have bounced back from that loss though and five successive wins - including two London derby victories over rivals Chelsea and Tottenham - have put them clear at the top of the table again.

It puts them in the power position, but City have a game in hand, so they are relying on them to slip up.

Arsenal now just have one match left, and they face Everton.

Predicted finish - 2nd

Arsenal's remaining fixtures

  • Arsenal vs Everton - May 19

Manchester City - 2rd 

Man City are used to this type of title race, and they have already taken advantage of their rivals slipping up.

Pep Guardiola’s side usually come out on top in a pressurised situation, and after winning a historic treble last season, they clearly know how to step up. 

That experience of winning trophies is proving to be crucial once again for City.

It's in their hands and their final few games will please them, only playing one more ‘Big Six’ side in Tottenham until the end of the season. 

City have been knocked out of the Champions League too, meaning their full focus will be on the Premier League.

And that is dangerous for their fellow title challengers, with Guardiola not having to rotate and being able to use his biggest stars every week.
