Arsenal are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. The Gunners moved to 82 points by beating Burnley 1-0 at the Emirates on Monday May 18, and Bournemouth’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City the following night confirmed the title at the Vitality. Mikel Arteta’s side cannot be caught by City, whose maximum from the final day is 81. The Premier League title odds market is settled; Arsenal close the season with a dead-rubber trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday May 24, and the focus across the rest of the division turns to the final-day relegation battle and the European places.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal sit on 82 points from 37 games (+43 GD, 69 goals scored). Manchester City finished GW37 on 78 from 37 (+43 GD, 76 GF) after dropping two points at Bournemouth, and now host Aston Villa on the final day with the title decided and a top-four place already locked. The Premier League title odds<\/a> have collapsed to the inevitable. The story now is how Arsenal close it out at Selhurst Park, and how the closing-day card resolves the lower European places and the third relegation slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal end the 22-year wait<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal’s last league title came in 2003-04 with the Invincibles. Twenty-two seasons of close calls and structural rebuilds later, Arteta has delivered the league with a game to spare. The route had two pieces: take care of business at home to Burnley on Monday, then wait one night for City to drop points at Bournemouth. The first happened with a controlled 1-0 win over the relegated Clarets. The second arrived when Manchester City failed to score the goals that would have kept their game in hand alive, drawing 1-1 at the Vitality on Tuesday night. The title was confirmed without Arsenal kicking another ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign has been built on consistency rather than fireworks. Arsenal have lost only five league games. Their goal difference of +43 is matched only by City, and the defensive base — 26 conceded across 37 games — is the best in the division. Viktor Gyokeres, the January signing, has added the directness the attack lacked under Kai Havertz’s lone-9 role, and the squad has stayed largely fit through the run-in.<\/p>\n\n\n
