Arsenal fans, it's time to start believing—the Premier League title is within reach for the first time since 2003. Monday night delivered a massive boost to Mikel Arteta's squad, thanks to Jeremy Doku's last-gasp equalizer for Manchester City against Everton. While that goal saved City from defeat, it also saw Pep Guardiola's reigning champions drop two crucial points in the title race, handing the Gunners a golden opportunity.

Here's the current picture: Arsenal sit five points clear at the top, with just three games left to play. City, however, have a game in hand, meaning they have four matches remaining. The math is tight, but the momentum is shifting towards North London.

When could Arsenal clinch the title?

The earliest possible date is May 13, when City travel to Crystal Palace. For that to happen, City would need to pick up one point or fewer from their next two games against Brentford and Palace, while Arsenal must beat West Ham in between. That scenario would leave City with an insurmountable gap, handing Arsenal the trophy with two games to spare.

Alternatively, Arsenal could seal the deal in their final home game of the season against Burnley. If City fail to beat either Brentford or Palace, and Arsenal win both their matches against West Ham and Burnley, the gap would be too large for City to close.

It's simple: win out, and the title is yours

The clearest path for Arsenal is to win all three remaining games. If they do, they'll finish with a maximum of 85 points, while City can only reach 83. No need to worry about what City does—just keep winning.

City's game in hand won't be played until May 19, when they face Bournemouth. If Arsenal haven't already clinched by then, they could do it that day—provided City slip up against the Cherries and Arsenal have taken care of business against West Ham and Burnley.

If it all comes down to the final day of the season, buckle up. Should both teams win their remaining matches, City would trail Arsenal by two points heading into the last round. A draw could even be enough for the Gunners, depending on goal difference.

But don't get too comfortable

Dropped points could still haunt Arsenal. If City win all four of their remaining games and Arsenal win two but draw one, the title would be decided by goal difference on the final day. And if Arsenal win two but lose one, City would leapfrog them to reclaim the crown.

For now, the advantage is firmly with Arteta's squad. The Gunners control their own destiny, and with a bit of help from City's slip-ups, the trophy could be heading back to the Emirates. Stay tuned, and get your Arsenal gear ready—this is history in the making.
