Arsenal's title hopes all-but ended on Sunday as they lost 3-0 to Brighton at the Emirates.
Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Etsupinan all scored as the Seagulls overtook Tottenham into sixth place.
Man City are now four point clear of Arsenal and have a game in hand. They can win the league in their next game by beating Chelsea.
Having been eight points clear at the top of the league at the start of April, Mikel Arteta's side have won just two of their last seven games.

Not many teams have come here and imposed their style on Arsenal with such bravery and bottle as Brighton.
Even early on, when the home side looked the more threatening, this game was being played on Albion’s terms.
Arsenal had joy in large part because Brighton were inviting pressure deep inside their own half. Under Roberto De Zerbi, they look to draw opposition teams on to them and launch counter-style attacks – without ever losing the ball.
It is incredibly high risk and relies on tiny details. Such as players controlling the ball with their studs to lure pressure. Just as Lewis Dunk did straight from kick-off.
