What Arsenal need to win the Premier League title

With one game to go in this season's Premier League title race, the destination of the trophy will be decided on the final day of the season.

 Manchester City's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday means we head into the final round of matches two points behind Pep Guardiola's team, but still in with a chance of being crowned champions.

To help you follow the twists and turns, here is what we need to happen to secure a first league title in 20 years:

The table

	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
1. Man City	37	27	7	3	93	33	60	88
2. Arsenal	37	27	5	5	89	28	61	86

Final fixtures

Sunday, May 19: Arsenal v Everton
Sunday, May 19: Manchester City v West Ham United

The final day

With their two-point lead, City ultimately have the advantage going into Sunday when all fixtures kick off at the same time.

To have any chance of finishing top of the table, we must beat Everton at Emirates Stadium to collect enough points to climb above City. Any other result is not good enough.

Should we do that, we need Manchester City drop points against the Hammers.

A loss for City coupled with a win for ourselves would see us win the title. Should City only get a draw, the two teams will be level on 89 points, but we would be victorious because of our superior goal difference. 

However, if City beat West Ham at the Etihad Stadium, they will be champions regardless of what result we get on the final day.

There is now no chance that goals scored or a head-to-head record would decide the title. Should City drop the points required to give us a chance of glory, then Guardiola's team will not be able to move level on goal difference with ourselves.

Team news updates ahead of Sheffield United trip

Mikel Arteta and his medical team will use this weekend to determine the availability of Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus ahead of Monday’s trip to Sheffield United.

It’s an 8pm kick-off in the Premier League at Bramall Lane and all four players could be in contention, depending on their progress this weekend.

“Thomas had a session before the last game and now he’s done two consecutive sessions so he should be part of the squad on Monday,” Mikel explained in his pre-match press conference at Sobha Realty Training Centre on Thursday afternoon.

"[Zinchenko and Tomiyasu] are possible but we have to wait and see, especially with the last two sessions that we have on Saturday and Sunday. If that’s the case, they might be available on Monday.”

Regarding Jesus, Mikel doesn’t expect our Brazilian forward to feature for 90 minutes against the Blades, but he could be involved from kick-off.

“He’s fit enough, but knowing how long he will last is something different probably, but we didn’t want to take any risks after the result that we had against Newcastle,” he added. “Obviously we need him fit. He’s a massive player for us and we want to make sure that now we load the players in the right way.”

Jurrien Timber will not be part of Monday’s squad, as he continues his recovery from a long-term ACL injury but did join in with training alongside our first-team at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
