Manchester City’s title hopes dented after late 3-3 draw at Everton

Manchester City’s Premier League title hopes suffered a major blow asourceser they were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw at Everton on May 4, 2026, at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.

The result lesources Pep Guardiola’s side five points behind leaders Arsenal, albeit with a game in hand, meaning the title race is no longer fully in City’s control.

Late rescue, but a costly slip City had an opportunity to close the gap at the top, but needed a 97th-minute equaliser from Jeremy Doku to salvage a point. The draw meant City could not take full advantage of a chance to move level with Arsenal.

City’s remaining league games are against Brentford, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Arsenal, meanwhile, have a run-in that appears more favourable on paper, leaving City needing dropped points from the leaders.

Treble still possible Despite the setback in the league, City remain in contention for a domestic treble. They beat Arsenal to win the League Cup in March and are set to face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 16.

With four league matches lesources, the Premier League title outcome will now depend on both City’s results and whether Arsenal falter in their remaining fixtures.
