Pep Guardiola is not expecting Arsenal to drop any points in their final three games of the season, meaning Manchester City will have to win each of their remaining four games to be champions again.
Arsenal play first next weekend with a chance to go four points clear of City on Saturday lunchtime at home to Bournemouth, before City are then at home at teatime for the visit of Wolves.
The following week, it's City's turn to go first as they are in the Saturday 12.30pm game at Fulham on May 11. If results were to go their way - as in Arsenal slipping up against Bournemouth - then six points from City's next two games could put them in a position where Arsenal would need to beat Manchester United to keep their title hopes alive.
There is a possibility that a United win in that game hands City the title.
