Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support ContributeWith the win, City moved six points clear of leaders Arsenal. Arsenal have 70 points in first place, while City have 64, but with one game less to play.
But how can the Premier League title be decided?
The next match will be played next Sunday between City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. It is a match that could decide the title.
If City wins, they move three points clear of Arsenal and if they win their remaining game against Crystal Palace, they would be level on points at the top of the table.
The exact date for the match has not yet been set. If City and Arsenal finish level on points, goal difference will decide.
If the goal difference is also the same, then other criteria would be looked at. Number of goals scored, head-to-head matches, away goals scored in head-to-head matches are other criteria that would be taken into account. If all of these are equal, the final criterion is that these two teams play the final match on neutral ground, to determine the winner of the championship.
