The Premier League title race is now settled with no doubts; the latest championship odds show Arsenal at 1.28, while Manchester City's odds have plummeted to 4.

Odds might be a key metric, and it seems that after this 20th round of the Premier League, the championship is decided. Over the past two rounds, apart from Arsenal’s consecutive victories, the other five big six teams, including Manchester City, have all drawn twice. This implies that Manchester City’s title bid may have slipped, similar to Arsenal’s past struggles. City dropped 4 points in two games, allowing Arsenal to extend their lead to 6 points. Although Arsenal might still drop points on their title run—that’s inevitable—given Manchester City’s current form, Guardiola’s team might be more prone to slipping up.

Following Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Chelsea and the dropped points, the latest Premier League title odds have just been released.Arsenal's odds have improved from 1.61 to 1.28; Manchester City's have sharply fallen from 2.62 to 4; Aston Villa stands at 29, Liverpool at 81, and Chelsea at 201.In reality, only Arsenal and Manchester City are genuine contenders for the Premier League title this season. With the Blues dropping points in two consecutive rounds, Arsenal's championship seems increasingly inevitable.

Some say Arsenal has a history of faltering, but currently, Manchester City relies too heavily on Haaland’s goals. The striker has gone scoreless in the last three Premier League matches. Combined with Sterling’s sluggishness and a lack of connection with Foden, City might be more likely to stumble than Arsenal. In truth, the biggest rival in a title race is always oneself. Manchester City has faltered first, while Arsenal has been growing through their "three consecutive runner-up" experiences. After repeated cycles of failure and attacking improvements comes the arrival of the championship. Arteta firmly believes in this.
