The Premier League title race is heating up as Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool are separated by just two points at the top of the table. With only six games remaining, the race for the title is as tight as ever.
Manchester City reclaimed the top spot after a convincing 5-1 win over Luton, while Liverpool suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace and Arsenal fell 2-0 to Aston Villa.

Arsenal currently lead the battle for goal difference with a staggering +49, followed by Manchester City with +44 and Liverpool with +41. City are the form side among the challengers, averaging 2.2 points per game over their last five league outings.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have the best defense in the league this season, reflected in their expected goals against total. However, their lack of trophy-winning experience and past capitulations could be a cause for concern as they look to secure their first league title in 20 years.

According to Opta’s supercomputer, Manchester City are now the favorites to win the title with a 68.1% chance, while Arsenal and Liverpool collectively represent a 32% chance of denying City their fourth consecutive title.
