With two games to go and just two points separating the top two, the Premier League title race is heading to a dramatic conclusion as Manchester City and Arsenal prepare for a defining final fortnight.

City Cut The Gap

Manchester City

Manchester City's odds of winning the Premier League have come back in to 7/2 tjwith BoyleSports following Wednesday night's convincing victory over Crystal Palace , but Arsenal remain clear title favourites. Goals from Antoine Semenyo , Omar Marmoush and Savinho earned City a 3-0 win over the Conference League finalists at the Etihad to keep the pressure on the leaders following their nervy 1-0 weekend win at West Ham .

The gap is now back down to two points heading into the final two league games of the season, with City currently holding a goal difference advantage of one should it come down to that.

City midfielder Phil Foden , who was man of the match against Palace on his first league start since March, said after Wednesday's victory: "It was a massive game and it was a must-win game. I'm really happy. We just keep pushing and keep them on their toes. We've seen a lot of things can happen on the final day. I've experienced it many times. We just have to keep pushing and doing our part."

Favourites

Arsenal

Arsenal , who are 1/5 to win their first Premier League title in 22 years, look to have the more favourable fixtures of the two title rivals, but the fact both clubs have cup finals to contend with adds an extra element. The Gunners next face relegated Burnley at the Emirates and complete their league campaign with a short trip to Palace before facing Paris St Germain in the Champions League final.

Pep Guardiola's side are in cup action this weekend, taking on Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley , before travelling to Bournemouth next Tuesday and then hosting Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

Top Four Race

Liverpool Fancied For Fourth

Behind them, the top three Liverpool are 1/5 favourites to win the battle for a top-four finish alongside the two title rivals and third-placed Manchester United . The deposed champions are currently fourth, level on 59 points with Aston Villa (10/3 for the top four) but boasting a much healthier goal difference.

The two clubs meet at Villa Park on Friday night before Liverpool finish off at home to Brentford , while Villa , who play Freiburg in the Europa League final next Wednesday, travel to the Etihad for their last game. Bournemouth , who are four points further back in sixth and still have to play City and Nottingham Forest , are 150/1 to pip Liverpool and Villa to fourth place.
