Man City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 on Wednesday. Arsenal are still two points ahead. Two games left for both.
Phil Foden hasn't started a Premier League game in two months. On Wednesday at the Etihad, he set up the first two goals and looked like himself again. Antoine Semenyo scored the opener. Omar Marmoush got the second. Savinho added a third late on. Palace were half-thinking about Saturday's Conference League final and didn't make it hard.
City are two points behind Arsenal with two games each remaining. Arsenal can win the title on Monday if they beat Burnley at home. If Arsenal drop points, City go to Bournemouth on Tuesday needing a result, and then it goes to the final day.
No team in English top-division history has made up a five-point deficit this late in a season to win the title. City were five points back not long ago. They're at two now. Guardiola was pumping his fist at full time. He doesn't look like a man who's conceded.
City have the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday first. If they win that, Guardiola gets a domestic double regardless of what happens in the league. Arsenal fans will tell you the title is done. City fans will tell you it isn't over. They're both technically right.
