Manchester City won the difficult away match against Chelsea on Sunday, in the 32nd round. 

City won convincingly 3-0 and, following Arsenal's slip-up on Saturday, have taken a step forward in the title race. 
Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi and Jeremy Doku scored the winning goals in the second half. Rayan Cherki provided the assists for the first two goals. 

With the win, City have moved to within six points of leaders Arsenal. Arsenal have 70 points in first place, while City have 64, but with a game in hand. 
But how could the Premier League title be decided? 

The next match will be played next Sunday between City and Arsenal at “Etihad Stadium”. It is a match that could decide the title. 

If City win, they will move to within three points of Arsenal, and if they also win their game in hand against Crystal Palace, they would be level on points at the top of the table. 

The exact date for when this fixture will be played has not yet been set.  If City and Arsenal finish with the same number of points, goal difference would decide it. 

If goal difference is also the same, then other criteria would be considered. The number of goals scored, head-to-head results, and goals scored away from home in matches between the two sides are the other criteria that would be taken into account. If all of these are equal, the final criterion is for the two teams to play a final match at a neutral venue to determine the championship winner.
