Phil Foden says “anything can happen on the final day” and his Manchester City team are “keeping Arsenal on their toes” in the Premier League title race.Much-changed City rolled the Premier League title race on at least another week with a confident 3-0 victory over sluggish Crystal Palace.
Pep Guardiola’s side continue to trail Arsenal by two points with two left to play and will not be able to catch their rivals if Mikel Arteta’s side stay perfect between now and May 24.
Foden told Sky Sports: “We have to keep pushing and keep them on their toes. Lots of things can happen on the final day, I’ve experienced it many times when the game doesn’t go your way. We have our part to play.”There was an obvious positive in the performance of Foden, who was making his first Premier League start in more than two months.

The lesser-seen Foden made a big impact on a rare start as his pair of assists in the first half putting the hosts into a commanding lead, from which they never looked back.
The opener was special. A moment of instinctive genius from Foden, akin to the like he was producing during his vintage year – when City last won the title in 2023/24. His clever backheel flick found Antoine Semenyo on the move and the forward arrowed a first-time finish into the bottom corner.
Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp called it the “assist of the season”.”Sometimes it doesn’t come off but the risk is worth taking,” Foden said.”I’m buzzing to contribute and help get three points.”I had a good half of the season, but dropped off and I struggled to find my way into the team with such great players when they are more at it than you.”I’ve had to be patient and train hard to wait for my moment and make the most of it. If you want to win trophies and titles, it’s about a squad and everyone playing their part.”
