Arsenal lead the 2025/26 Premier League table by 3 points with a game in hand for Manchester City, following City’s 2-1 victory over the Gunners at the Etihad on Sunday, April 19.
Current standings (as of April 20, 2026):
Arsenal: 33 games played, 70 points, +37 goal difference
Manchester City: 32 games played, 67 points, +36 goal difference
Both teams are on course for a maximum of 85 points if they win all their remaining matches (Arsenal +15 from 5 games; City +18 from 6 games).
A perfect record from both would likely result in a title decider on goal difference (Arsenal currently edge it) or head-to-head (City won the latest meeting 2-1).
Arsenal’s Remaining Fixtures (5 games left)
Arsenal have a relatively kind run-in, with four home games against sides mostly in the lower half of the table:

Key analysis for Arsenal: This looks very winnable.
The toughest fixture is arguably the trip to West Ham, who are fighting for survival and could be motivated. Newcastle and Palace have caused Arsenal problems before, but at this stage of the season, the Gunners should target 13–15 points.
A couple of draws could still be enough if City slip up, but Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford to drop more than a handful of points.
Manchester City’s Remaining Fixtures (6 games left)
City have an extra game but a noticeably tougher schedule, including more away trips and a clash with a top-four side:
