How can Man City win the title?

If Man City win their final-day home encounter at home to West Ham United, they will be crowned champions for a record fourth successive season. Otherwise, they just need to match Arsenal’s result. 

How can Arsenal win the title?

For Arsenal to lift their first Premier League Trophy in 20 years, they first must beat Everton and then need City to drop points at home to West Ham. Their superior goal difference could be decisive if the two finish level on points by Arsenal winning and City drawing.

What happens if the teams' points are the same?

If teams have the same total of points, the following criteria will determine the champions:
- goal difference.
- goals scored.
- total points scored by the relevant teams in head-to-head matches between the title rivals.
- most away goals scored in the head-to-head matches.
- playoff match at a neutral stadium, the format, timing and venue of which shall be determined by the Premier League Board.
