The Premier League title race is on a knife-edge after Sunday's clash between Manchester City and Arsenal.
City ran out 2-1 winners, and have now cut the gap between themselves and Arsenal to just three points with a game in hand.
Pep Guardiola's side returns to Premier League on Wednesday night when they travel to Burnley, and if City beat the Clarets by two or more goals, they will leapfrog the Gunners and go top of the table.
With so many twists and turns still to come in this title race, how soon could either City or Arsenal secure the trophy?
Following the defeat at the Etihad, Arsenal have lost control of this season's Premier League title race, but they are still top of the table, for now.
The earliest opportunity Arsenal could defy the odds and win the title is May 10 against West Ham United, however, the Gunners would need to win their two prior matches with Newcastle United and Fulham.
Mikel Areta's side will also have to cling on to the hope that City lose their next three matches.
This means the Blues would fall 12 points behind, staying on 67 points, while Arsenal would be on 79 points with just nine points up for grabs for the rest of the season.
For City, the task is simple, and that is to keep winning.
They are no strangers to this scenario, with Pep Guardiola's side creating the reputation of a team that becomes a relentless juggernaut in the final month of the season.
The earliest City can win the Premier League title is on May 17 when they travel to Bournemouth. To make this a reality, City would need to win their next four matches, while Arsenal lose their next three.
In this scenario, City would be on 79 points with Arsenal falling nine points behind and only six points available.
If City do achieve this, then they will do this with matches against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa remaining.
