Arsenal currently sit top of the table by a point, but Manchester City are breathing down their necks as they have a game in hand, so the North London outfit need Pep Guardiola’s side to drop points in their remaining game.

Arsenal’s fixture against Manchester United game was arguably one of their toughest  and with the recent form, they have the right quality of players within their ranks to see through beating the Red Devils. That comes handy for Mikel Arteta. 

The Gunners know that if they keep winning-games, then it will keep the pressure on City, but Arteta is aware of how slim his chances are despite his men's victory over Bournemouth and Manchester United, especially in this final stretch battle in the English Premier League title race which has been equally as thrilling.

Arsenal’s final game of the season is at home against Everton, and this could prove to be the most important game of the season because if results go their way, then a win in this one could give them victory for the Premier League.

Although Everton will want to finish the season on a high, we do not see any other results than a victory for the Gunners considering that Arsenal have won four of their five previous games against Everton. 

Well, even if winning the last match seems to be at the reach of Arsenal, they yet would necessary some forms of lucky to lift the Premier League trophy over Manchester City. Bear in mind, the missed winning the title last season to City after series of losses near the closing state of the season.
