Title Race Goes Down To The Wire
The Premier League title battle between Arsenal and Manchester City is heading for a dramatic finish after City’s convincing 3-0 win over Crystal Palace cut the gap to just two points.
With only two matches left for each side, the race is still mathematically open — but momentum is building on both sides as fans brace for a tense conclusion.

City’s Late Surge Not Enough?
Pep Guardiola’s side have refused to give up the fight, but the model suggests their earlier slip-ups could cost them dearly.
A draw against Everton is highlighted as a key turning point in the title race, even as they responded strongly with wins over Brentford and Palace.
Still, Opta predicts City will fall just short — by around three points.
