The Premier League title race between Arsenal and Manchester City is heading right down to the wire, with the two rivals separated by just six points ahead of their meeting at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Aiming to extend their advantage at the top, Arsenal dropped three costly points in last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth, while City gained momentum with an emphatic 3-0 victory away at Chelsea.
Ahead of a potential title decider, Roy Keane and Ian Wright have predicted how each club’s remaining Premier League fixtures could play out, with their projected results shaping the final standings and the eventual winner.

On The Overlap, Keane and Wright teamed up against Gary Neville and Paul Scholes to predict Arsenal and Man City’s remaining Premier League fixtures, with the former pair forecasting a 1-1 draw in Sunday’s clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Keane and Wright’s duo backed Arsenal to win all five of their remaining games, including a 3-1 victory at West Ham and a 2-0 win away at Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.
They also expect the Gunners to take maximum points from their three remaining home fixtures against Newcastle, Fulham and Burnley.

Keane and Wright also expressed confidence in Man City’s chances, making the same prediction for Pep Guardiola’s side, who have seven games left compared to Arsenal’s six, forecasting that they will win all of their remaining fixtures.
That run would include victories away at Everton (2-1) and Bournemouth (2-1), as well as a win over Aston Villa (2-0) in their final game of the Premier League campaign.
The predictions mean City would need to replicate their strong finish to 2025, when they managed to win six matches in a row, bouncing back after a difficult start to the season.

Keane and Wright’s predictions would see Arsenal come out on top against City by just three points, securing their first Premier League title since the 2003–04 season.
Their forecast has the Gunners finishing on 86 points, while City would end the campaign on 83, which would be their second-lowest points total in the last five seasons.
Scholes and Neville’s prediction, meanwhile, has both sides finishing level on 83 points. If that were the case, the title would be decided by goal difference.
