Manchester City have secured a third consecutive Premier League title after Arsenal lost to Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal needed to win to keep the Premier League title race alive but a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest helped City to retain the title on Saturday, May 20.
Even if the second placed Gunners win in Nottingham, City will still clinch their fifth title in six seasons if they beat Chelsea on Sunday or defeat Brighton or Brentford in their final two games next week.

Nottingham Forest, however, secured their Premier League survival with the hard-fought victory after Taiwo Awoniyi struck his fifth goal in three games in the 19th minute.
Forest defended superbly from then on, limiting the listless Gunners to a handful of half-chances and clinching a deserved win which takes them to 37 points, putting them out of reach of Everton and Leicester as well as already-relegated Southampton.
For Arsenal, meanwhile, the defeat was a continuation of their 3-0 reverse against Brighton last weekend, their title challenge running out of steam with another poor performance which allowed City to claim the crown with three games still to play.
Nottingham Forest head to Crystal Palace in their last outing of the campaign while Arsenal host Wolves.
