When Arsenal can win the Premier League title:

Arsenal Premier League title position: Arsenal currently hold the top position in the Premier League table with two matches remaining in the season. Mikel Arteta's side are in control of the title race as they look to end a 22-year wait to lift the prestigious trophy.

Manchester City pressure: Manchester City are closely trailing the Gunners in second place after keeping the pressure on with a 3-0 victory against Crystal Palace. This win leaves them just two points behind the league leaders with both teams having identical games left to play.

Earliest title win: The absolute earliest date that Arsenal can officially win the Premier League title is Tuesday, May 19. For this scenario to happen, the Gunners must beat Burnley on Monday night and Manchester City must draw or lose to Bournemouth the following day.

Extended title race: If Arsenal fail to pick up three points against Burnley, the title race will automatically be extended further. Man City could lose to Bournemouth in that situation and the title will still be up for grabs.

Final day drama: Should both title rivals secure victories in the penultimate game of the season, the title winner will be determined on the final day of the season. This final day of action is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 24, with simultaneous kick-off times.

Arsenal's end to the campaign: Arsenal will conclude their league campaign with an away match when they visit Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta's men will need to focus on securing a vital win on opposing turf if the race goes down to the wire.

Manchester City's end to the season: Manchester City will finish their season with a home game as they host Aston Villa. They will hope to utilise their home advantage to potentially overtake the Gunners at the very last moment.
