If there is one game that will decide our title win or not, that will be it. Unfortunately Liverpool have got Spurs at home. I can’t see Liverpool droping any points at home, meaning they will beat Spurs.

They drew with Spurs two years ago to give us a leg up in the title race. No Harry Kane this time but Spurs want the points just as much as Liverpool do, strange things happen when the games start to run out and the doubt starts to creep in.
 
More twists and turns to come I'm sure. A big challenge for Arsenal to negotiate the pressure of the league and the CL with the squad they have. They've got some tricky games to go as well. Liverpool play Spurs and Villa who both will be pushing for CL qualification, they will not be easy. They also have to go to Goodison where Everton will do everything they can to try and get a point at least.

We can only take care of ourselves. First job is to beat Luton. We're first to play. Win, go top and put the pressure on. The others then play potentially three times before we play Brighton away. I have a feeling we're going to be 4pts off top with 2 games in hand when we play Brighton.
 
This is not really connected to this title run in but hope okay in posting here.

Can anyone tell me the last couple of times the title went to the last game and the team in second/third place won it?

The last one Liverpool v Arsenal 1989. I think.

I can't remember any others since I started watching City in the early 80's. Wasn't there a controversy with Leeds and an off side goal..?

I'd expect them to throw the UCL if they continue winning in the league

I agree with the opta models that Liverpool have a better chance to win than Arsenal.

Liverpool have important players returning and play average teams in Europa. Arsenal play Bayern and possibly City/Real. Plus, Arsenal don't have a tradition of finsihing strongly. It might change this season, but those CL games might be a bit too much for the least rotated top side in the league.

Arsenal are ahead of Liverpool after the weekend bud on Opta’s model so presumably you disagree with them?
