News Summary

• Manchester City's 2-1 win over Arsenal changed the standings math for the run-in.
• If Arsenal and City end up level, goal difference becomes the deciding factor rather than head-to-head alone.
• That makes remaining results and the margins of victory increasingly important, especially in matches where teams might otherwise treat outcomes as “safe.” Arsenal’s immediate task after losing to City is clear—recover form and ensure they don’t allow City to create an insurmountable goal-difference gap.
