On April 29, Beijing time, the 35th round of the English Premier League ended, Manchester City and Arsenal both won, Liverpool drawn, and the championship situation has changed again, let us interpret it.

Standings change

Before this round of games, Arsenal was in first place with 77 points, Manchester City was second with 76 points from one game less, and Liverpool was third with 74 points.

In this round, Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in the north London derby, Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest 2-0, and only Liverpool was forced to draw 2-2 by West Ham United, conceding 5 points in two rounds!

As a result, after 35 rounds, Arsenal won 25, drew 5 and lost 5, continued to rank first with 80 points, and a goal difference of 57. Manchester City has 1 game less, 24 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, ranking second with 79 points and a goal difference of 50. Liverpool has 22 wins, 9 draws and 4 losses, 75 points are already 5 points behind the top of the table, and with only 3 rounds left, they have completely fallen behind!

Remaining fixtures

Manchester City: 5.5 Wolves (H), 5.11 Fulham (A), 5.15 Tottenham (A), 5.19 West Ham United (H)

Arsenal: 5.4 Bournemouth (H), 5.12 Manchester United (A), 5.19 Everton (H)

Liverpool: 5.5 Tottenham (H), 5.14 Villa (A), 5.19 Wolves (H)

This season's Premier League title race has changed from a three-legged title to a two-legged battle. Manchester City have the advantage of having one game less, so as long as they win all four of their last games, they will definitely win the title, but they still have a big opponent, and that is Tottenham.

Arsenal have beaten Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in a back-to-back but will face Manchester United, and the outcome of this game will be crucial, as it could decide the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool will also play Tottenham in the next round, and of course winning the title is almost an impossible task.

Champion predictions

According to OPTA's latest predictions, City's chances of winning the title have dropped from 71.7 per cent to 67.4 per cent at the end of this round, but they are still the top favourites.

Leaders Arsenal's chances of winning the title rose from 26.6 per cent to 32.5 per cent, narrowing the gap on Manchester City. Liverpool, on the other hand, are only 0.1 per cent and only have a theoretical chance of winning the title.
