Manchester City's victory over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League means that they are now effectively tied in the league with six games remaining: Arsenal leads with 70 points, Manchester City has 67, with a game in hand. If both were to win all matches, they would finish with the same points and the title would be decided by goal difference: Arsenal has 37, City has 36.
However, Manchester City is in a superior form according to cold statistics: Guardiola's team has a 71.4% win ratio in April and have lost only once in the past 20 league games, while Arteta's side has a 39.5% win ratio in the same period, according to BBC, and have only won only one of their last six games in all competitions.
Beyond data, the feeling is that Arsenal's legs are trembling, not only with exhaustion (they also have the Champions League semi-finals to play against Atleti on April 29 and May 5) but also fear, remembering the other times where Arsenal lost shape in the latter weeks of the league and lost the title, like two years ago, when they lost two points behind Manchester City despite a nearly flawless season.
