West Ham, who are battling relegation, made a huge effort in this game despite the loss. Still, on the upper side of the table, the consequences were bigger. These are the remaining games for Arsenal:
Matchday 37: Arsenal vs Burnley – Monday, May 18th
Arsenal will host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium. This is a great matchup at home for the Gunners, given that Burnley are already relegated and have nothing to play for in the upcoming Premier League matchdays. It should be an easy win for the Mikel Arteta boys.
Matchday 38: Crystal Palace vs Arsenal – Sunday, May 24th
A bit of a tougher test await for Arsenal in the last Premier League game of the season as they go to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace. Still, Arsenal should be favored massively to get the three points. While feisty, Palace are 14th in the standings.
What are the remaining Premier League games for Man City?
Man City have a game in hand at home vs. Crystal Palace, which will be played on Wednesday, May 13th. Then, Matchday 37 will pit them against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Their last game will be at home against the always-tough Aston Villa.
What do Arsenal need to win the Premier League?
To mathematically win the Premier League, Arsenal need to win at least four points of the remaining six to win. They could also win three points as long as Man City slip in one of their next games.
