City cut the gap to two points
Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3–0 at the Etihad, cutting your lead at the top to just two points (1) (4). Phil Foden ran the show, scoring once and proving exactly why Pep Guardiola called his talent "unteachable" afterwards (10). Omar Marmoush and Erling Haaland also got on the scoresheet, piling pressure on Arsenal with the finish line in sight (1) (4).
The run-in: your fixtures vs theirs
It's a straight two-game shootout now. You can no longer win the league at the Emirates, it'll be decided on the road or not at all (3) (11). City have signaled they'll "take a break" from the title battle to go all-in on the FA Cup, which could play in your favor if their squad gets stretched (12).
Guardiola's dig lands
After the Palace win, Guardiola couldn't resist a pointed comment aimed your way: "At this club, to win you have to be much better" (7). He was also reportedly surprised by his own substitutions in the match, a gamble that paid off and kept the title race alive (9).
Transfer noise: Güler battle and a Hoffenheim star
Arsenal are reportedly ready to splash €90 million on Real Madrid's Arda Güler, with Florentino Perez reluctant to sell but the player said to be open to a move (6). Separately, Hoffenheim are bracing for a transfer fight with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich all circling one of their top talents (2).

But the rallying cry is already out for Monday's match-going supporters: one more push, everything on the line. Read more on Reddit
