Arsenal’s 2025/26 Final Stretch: Forecasting Their Premier League Championship Outcome

Arsenal headed into the final 10 matches of the Premier League season with a healthy lead but everything still up for grabs.

A dramatic 2-2 draw against bottom side Wolves at Molineux in mid-February opened the door a little wider to Manchester City, but Mikel Arteta’s men regained their poise with London derby wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea on back-to-back weekends.

Is 2026 when the Gunners end the pain of three consecutive second-place finishes and win their first Premier League title for 22 years?

Here, The Jugo Mobile has a breakdown of Arsenal’s title run-in schedule, fixtures and results, along with our predictions for each fixture.

Arsenal predictions for Premier League run-in 2025/26

Here’s a run-down of Arsenal’s Premier League run-in schedule, along with our predictions as to how things will play out.

Brighton (A): March 4

A deflected goal from Bukayo Saka settled a combative but largely uninspiring contest on the south coast. The travelling Arsenal fans celebrated the win, and City’s draw, as though they had won the league already.

Result last season: Brighton 1-1 ArsenalPrediction this season: Brighton 1-1 ArsenalFinal score: Brighton 0-1 Arsenal

Everton (H): March 14

Everton remain in the hunt for the European positions and have been a tough nut to crack under David Moyes. Nevertheless, it is hard to imagine how they hurt Arsenal in an attacking sense and this game might quickly turn into an attack vs. defence exercise.

Result last season: Arsenal 0-0 EvertonPrediction this season: Arsenal 2-0 EvertonFinal score: _

Bournemouth (H): April 11

Bournemouth beat Arsenal home and away last season but the Cherries have blown hot and cold this term, the loss of key personnel understandably seeming to have caught up with them. On home turf, this should be an assured win.

Result last season: Arsenal 1-2 BournemouthPrediction this season: Arsenal 3-1 BournemouthFinal score: _

Man City (A): April 18

The big one. Arsenal have not won at the Etihad Stadium since 2015 but they are unbeaten in six matches against City since their damaging April 2023 reverse during the run-in. Avoid defeat three years on and they’ll have taken a notable step towards glory. If they are bold enough to chase victory, they could all but take City out of the race.

Result last season: Man City 2-2 ArsenalPrediction this season: Man City 1-1 ArsenalFinal score: _

Newcastle (H): April 25

Newcastle were unfortunate to lose 2-1 after a late Arsenal comeback at St James’ Park last September and beat Arteta’s side home and way in last season’s Carabao Cup semifinals. Eddie Howe’s men have a favourable run of fixtures coming into this one and will be dangerous if the Gunners have any sort of mental or physical hangover from the City game.

Result last season: Arsenal 1-0 NewcastlePrediction this season: Arsenal 2-2 NewcastleFinal score: _

Fulham (H): May 2

Marco Silva’s Fulham have been a pest for the Premier League’s leading lights this season. Nevertheless, it will go down as a huge waste if Arsenal do not make their back-to-back home games count directly after facing City.

Result last season: Arsenal 2-1 FulhamPrediction this season: Arsenal 1-0 FulhamFinal score: _

West Ham (A): May 9

Another London derby and opposition who have enjoyed success against Arsenal in the past. West Ham’s 2-0 mid-season win in 2023/24 loomed large in the final analysis. Factor in a fired-up Hammers crowd as they battle relegation, and this one could be tricky.

Result last season: West Ham 2-5 ArsenalPrediction this season: West Ham 2-2 ArsenalFinal score: _

Burnley (H): May 17

West Ham are fighting relegation but the reality is an overmatched Burnley will probably be mathematically doomed by this point. Arsenal can take the opportunity to tee off in a race where goal difference could prove to be key.

Result last season: N/APrediction this season: Arsenal 5-0 BurnleyFinal score: _

Crystal Palace (A): May 24

An all-capital clash closes Arsenal’s campaign. If this was the Palace from the start of 2025/26, bathed in the glow of FA Cup and Community Shield success, this might look like an awful season-closer. As it is, Oliver Glasner will be one game from the exit door and his team have nothing to play for.

Result last season: Crystal Palace 1-5 ArsenalPrediction this season: Crystal Palace 1-3 ArsenalFinal score: _

Arsenal predicted final points tally in 2025/26: 83
