Arsenal are on the brink of ending a 22-year wait for the Premier League title. After a nerve-shredding 1-0 victory over West Ham on May 10, the Gunners now stand just two wins away from glory. Win their final two matches—against relegated Burnley and Conference League finalists Crystal Palace—and the trophy is theirs, no matter what happens elsewhere.

But there's a catch. Manchester City, the reigning champions, are still lurking. Pep Guardiola's side face Crystal Palace on May 13 in their game in hand. A win at the Etihad would cut Arsenal's lead to just two points, keeping the title race alive until the very end. However, if City slip up, Arsenal's moment could come much sooner.

Let's break down the three possible coronation dates:

Date 1: May 16
If City fail to beat Crystal Palace, they'll trail Arsenal by four or five points with two games left. That means if Arsenal then beat Burnley at the Emirates on May 16, they'll open up an unassailable seven- or eight-point lead. The home fans can start planning that title party.

Date 2: May 19
If City beat Palace, Arsenal can't clinch the title against Burnley. City's next match is away to Bournemouth on May 19, three days after their FA Cup final against Chelsea. The Cherries are on a long unbeaten run, still hunting for European football, and will give their departing boss Andoni Iraola a rousing send-off. If City drop points there, Arsenal could secure the title without even kicking a ball that night.

Date 3: May 25
If City win both their remaining games, the title race goes to the final day. Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace, while City host Brentford. The Gunners would need to match or better City's result to finally lift the trophy.

For now, the message is simple: two wins, and it's over. But with City's relentless pursuit and a few tricky fixtures ahead, Arsenal fans might want to keep their fingernails intact for a little while longer.
