The claim describes a hypothetical future scenario involving specific match outcomes (City winning two games) and future table standings. While web search results discuss future fixtures and title race scenarios, no single source confirms the exact sequence of events or the resulting table position described in the claim.

The claim describes a specific historical moment ('Three years ago, Arsenal were leading the Premier League by five points at the Etihad Stadium, despite having played two games more than Manchester City'). The evidence provides general historical context for both clubs' league standings but does not contain a specific, corroborating report matching the exact details (5 points lead, 2 games played more, at the Etihad) from multiple independent sources.

The claim details a specific 4-1 victory by Man City over Arsenal leading to a third successive title by five points. While web search results discuss Man City vs Arsenal matches and title implications, none of the provided evidence confirms this exact scoreline (4-1) or the precise context of securing a third successive title by exactly five points.

The claim cites specific statistics (20 wins, 2 draws in 22 games) since a loss to Leeds United in April 2021. The evidence confirms the existence of Leeds United and Manchester City's historical records, but no source provides the specific cumulative win/draw record (20/22) for April games since that date.
