Overview
- Manchester City’s 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace moved them ahead on goal difference, which means Arsenal cannot clinch the league in their final home game against Burnley unless City slip in their next match.
- The only way the trophy is settled early is if Arsenal win and City fail to take three points at Bournemouth; otherwise the race goes to the last round with Arsenal at Crystal Palace and City facing Aston Villa.
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s stoppage-time strike gave Leeds a 1-0 win over Brighton, securing a late twist that leaves Brighton’s push for European football to be decided on the final day.
- Liverpool’s poor run has intensified scrutiny on Arne Slot as fans read social posts by Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones as frustration, while reports in France say Quinten Timber is open to a Premier League move and has been linked with a reunion.
- Arsenal are also through to the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30, and Mikel Arteta says the recent loss at City served as a reset that has underpinned a more pragmatic late-season surge.
