After Arsenal were kept to a thrilling 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, the Reds are now just one point off from raising the Premier League trophy. Though two goals came from Emirates Stadium, the Gunners couldn’t lock in all three points, it let Palace recover twice and damage Mikel Arteta’s side’s title shot.
The outcome gives Arne Slot’s men a tremendous increase. They now need only one point from their last five games to secure their 20th English league title and level with Manchester United.
Liverpool set to crown season with title at Anfield
Even a draw will officially entitle Slot’s squad Champions when they play at Anfield on Sunday against Tottenham Hotspurs. Liverpool players are said to have watched the showdown. If the result went their way, they would be set to celebrate.
Oliver Glasner’s outfit even admitted their influence with a sly three-word social media message on X, formerly known as Twitter, to Liverpool supporters: “You’re welcome Liverpool….”
What’s the Gunners fate?
The Gunners’ English top-flight title chances have taken a major hit after a poor run of form. With just one win in their last four league games, the Arteta’s players now trail Liverpool by 12 points. With only four matches remaining, the only realistic path for the Emirates’ giants to lift the trophy is through goal difference—making every goal and result crucial in the final stretch.
