I'd say Brighton would be more of a threat with a late surge. You play them on the final day don't they so if they do something mad like win 5/6 then they'll finish on low 60s. Even then all you need to do is get 7 points at OT and the away games don't matter at all.

For about a minute. The one VAR check took ten seconds to clear aswell.
Can't say I feel the same. Guy has a punchable face. He hates us as well.
A simple 2-0 next Sunday and City will have caught Arsenal on goal difference.
They've then got Burnley away the next midweek.
Arteta going to have to change his mindset in final few weeks otherwise Arsenal are done.
According to Fotmob they are three behind. Ignore what I just said.
So winning by two, which means Arsenal lost by two, swings it
Of course. Doh!
If City end up winning the league, it shows you how bad everyone in the league has been this season - and I include Arsenal in that who absolutely do not deserve to be sitting with as many points.
No way he would show his face in North London if they bottle it this time. He'd leave by mutual consent.
Hope we can empty Stamford Bridge next Saturday as well.
I get the keeping holding on the ball over 9 seconds opposition gets a corner. But teams can spend 60-90secs setting up for a throw-in 
Even if we don't, the fact the worst team we've had in 10 years has beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea 9-0 on aggregate in our last 3 games is really telling on the state of the league.
Rice ?
Fortunately we're catching them at just the right time. Their top 5 aspirations nearly eliminated, confidence decimated, and little else to play for.
Imagine city win 3 trophies this season despite starting of badly
Don't think the former had much threat at all.
Second one a good example.
That's the downside of the Arsenal chuckles we'd have.
Probably worth it as we all know City pots are about as worthwhile as toilet pots.
It really wouldn't have taken much for us to be right amongst it. That's the sickening thing.
That ridiculous spell of 3 points from Everton h v 10 (defeat) and Leeds, Burnley and Wolves draws alone should have been a big haul.
On the upside if they do win the lot I expect the London press will bring up the 115 charges front and centre. No way is Pep leaving without being held accountable.
How did it pan out for the proper treble year though.
I remember United getting more press for the mess we were in then City's "treble" but not any charge rage.
The sickening thing will be when they're eventually punished all the journalists suddenly getting stuck into them about it when they've been cowardly as heck until now.
It is not like Arsenal's run in is easier than City. Newcastle, West Ham away relegation fight, Palace away on the final day. Arsenal can easily drop 3-5 points in any of these games.
It makes me sick just to think of that. We could have genuinely been in a title race if we sacked Amorim after Grimsby.
They literally can't
(sorry for being pedantic)I felt very threatened by the former's forehead but that's a personal gripe.
A decent showing tomorrow and I think we will. Just KRAB in the meantime
No run is ever easy. Looking at the fixtures is pointless.
Next weekend might as well be treated as the Premier League final for Arsenal.
They look absolutely clueless for awhile now. If they don't beat City, it's over for them. They seem mentally fragile now and dont look one bit comfortable like they did months ago.

If they lose the wheels can really come off. They have Newcastle right after (a team they always struggle against) and then West Ham fighting for survival.
Its a must win. Even a draw won't do it imo.
Being able to sign two great players in January has made a big difference for them.
If they can lose at home to Bournemouth, they can definitely drop points in any of those.
That was such an odd night.
I'd been racing a 5k about an hour from home, so only got text updates and heard the worst of the first half on the radio.
By the time I got home and got the game up, we were absolutely dominating them as you'd expect against a team 3 divisions lower and were going to win it, but ran out of time.
Think Grimsby even missed a pen first - and we still lost.
They will take a draw now.
A draw is enough for them I reckon. It gives them back control over the title and halts City's momentum. Could be enough to see them limp over the line
We all know how their spending and shenanigans have been until now, but this has to be the first time they've actually bought 2 of the top performing players in the league in January!
You wonder what on earth Liverpool were playing at not sealing the Guehi deal when they had the chance. Obviously the risk of hindsight, but bauking at the fee for him when they shipped similar out on 2 flop fullbacks, and huge wads on attackers was craziness.
Rice?
Under the thumb of Lego Pep, Rice hasn't been himself. But I agree with the original statement, Rice was a dynamic player that was fun to watch before he arrived at Arsenal.
He was lost all game...
Hoping his rotten little club get relegated soon. He can hate our club all he likes from the Championship.
Newcastle are 14th and really bad away from home. Think Arsenal will beat them as well as Fulham (probably in similar manner Liverpool beat Fulham yesterday, 2-0 or something). West Ham away could be tricky for them. Palace away can be tricky but they probably won't care by then and may be preparing for ECL final.
City have Everton and Bournemouth away (both teams will probably still be fighting for European spot) + Brentford and Villa at home. So even if they beat Arsenal and beat Palace, they still have tougher fixture. This weekend was damaging for Arsenal but they're still favourites for me.
