However, this is unlikely to put Arsenal fans at ease, as failing to win the title from such a strong position would mean a truly monumental upset.
What else is there to play for at the end of a Premier League season?
Champions League places are still in contention after Liverpool lost to Aston Villa last night, but the relegation battle also comes to a tense conclusion, with Tottenham and West Ham still likely to finish 18th.
Bournemouth can still qualify for the Champions League, but with a tough game remaining, Opta ranks them third on their list.
Brighton could also qualify if they’re lucky, and the game is ranked as slightly easier, but not by much.
Spurs and West Ham, on the other hand, sit next to each other in the mid-bottom of the table, making it very difficult to predict with certainty how their battle for survival will turn out.
