Manchester City delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium, keeping the Premier League title race alive heading into the final week. Despite resting Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final, Pep Guardiola's side showcased their depth and quality.

The win moves City to within two points of Arsenal with both clubs having two matches remaining. City now hold a narrow goal difference advantage, meaning any Arsenal slip could gift the trophy back to the Etihad for the seventh time in ten years. Phil Foden provided two assists in a performance that reminded everyone of his world-class ability.

Arsenal face Burnley and Palace in their final fixtures, knowing that perfection is required to secure their first league title since 2004. The Gunners lack City's attacking firepower and killer instinct, which could prove decisive in the season's final 180 minutes. Mikel Arteta's side simply cannot afford any mistakes.

City's experience in dramatic final-day scenarios gives them the psychological edge. They've won titles in the dying moments before, most notably in 2012 and 2022. Arsenal will need nerves of steel to handle this pressure.
