Mikel Arteta's side beat Bournemouth 3-0 at the Emirates before the reigning champions responded with a 5-1 thumping of Wolves to leave one point between them.
The Blues have a game in hand going into the final week, meaning that there will be five Premier League sides capable of having a decisive say in the title race.
They all have their own motivations in their final matches of the campaign, although some stronger than others.
Ahead of the climax of the season, here are what City and Arsenal's opponents have left to play for.
SATURDAY, MAY 11, 12.30PM: FULHAM VS CITY
If you were picking a side that had less to play for than anyone else, nobody would grumble with Fulham. Marco Silva's side are 13th in the league, safe from relegation but also too far away from hopes of European qualification.
There is the potential for them to climb four places in the table if they win both of their remaining games (they finish at Luton), and in these PSR-obsessed times the £3.1m per league place that was handed out last season is certainly attractive.
However, that will rely on other teams and Fulham's goalless draw at home to Brentford at the weekend did little to suggest that the West London side are pushing for more.
SUNDAY, MAY 12, 4.30PM: UNITED VS ARSENAL
Having effectively ended Jurgen Klopp's hopes in the FA Cup and Premier League, can United pave the way for City success?
