Someone is wondering why City, not Arsenal are top when they both have the same number of points.
The Premier League uses five tiebreakers to separate clubs that finish level on points. Most fans know the first one. Almost nobody knows the last three. And right now, with five games left in the 2025-26 season, every single one of them matters.
According to Section C of the Premier League Handbook 2025-26, under the heading Determination of League Table Placings, when two or more clubs finish level on points the following criteria are applied in this exact order.
First, goal difference across all 38 league games.
Second, total goals scored across the season.
Third, head-to-head points between the tied clubs specifically.
Fourth, away goals scored in those head-to-head matches. Fifth, and only if all four criteria above have failed to separate the clubs and the position is material to the title, European qualification or relegation, a one-off playoff at a neutral ground determined by the Premier League Board.
City and Arsenal currently lead the Premier League with 70 points. Both clubs have won 70 points with five games remaining and the title would be decided entirely by earlier mentioned tiebreakers.
The title has been decided by goal difference exactly once in Premier League history. In 2011-12, Manchester City and Manchester United both finished on 89 points. City had +64. United were on +56. Aguero's 94th-minute winner against QPR is the reason most people know that rule exists.
This season, the margin is one goal. Every match between now and 24 May counts.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a beautiful run-in on our hands

I condemn in the strongest terms Israelโs interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. These vessels carried unarmed civilians and life-saving humanitarian supplies for Gaza, yet they were met with intimidation and coercion.
By blocking a humanitarian mission, Israel has shown utter contempt not only for the rights of the Palestinian people but also for the conscience of the world. The flotilla embodied solidarity, compassion and the hope of relief for those under blockade.
Malaysia will use all legitimate and lawful means at our disposal to ensure that Israel is held to account, especially in matters concerning Malaysian citizens. The safety and dignity of our people are paramount, and we will not allow them to be compromised with impunity.
As long as the Palestinian people are denied their fundamental rights and aspirations, Malaysia will stand unflinchingly with them. We will not relent in demanding an end to the injustice and dispossession that have plagued Palestine for generations.

Thinking today about how Parameswara rested under a tree and decided to name his new kingdom after the tree and asked the locals "what is this tree called?" and
"It's called pokok melaka," answered Mahathir.
Liverpool striker Diogo Jota and his brother have both passed away due to traffic accident, reports Marca.
Deepest condolences, support, and thoughts are with those involved, his family and loved ones.
May his soul rest in peace. ๐ค๐๏ธ
