- Manchester City currently lead the table, two points ahead of Arsenal. If they defeat West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium, they'll secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title—a historic achievement.


- However, if City slips and  Arsenal  wins against Everton at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners will be crowned champions for the first time since 2004. Even a City draw could be enough for Arsenal due to their superior goal difference.

- Both  Pep Guardiola  (City's manager) and  Mikel Arteta (Arsenal's manager) anticipate a tense finish. Guardiola expects a thrilling match, reminiscent of the nail-biting final day of the 2021-22 season when late goals secured City's title.
Arteta, meanwhile, urges his team not to give up until the final whistle, dreaming of Arsenal's first league title in 20 years.

- In May 2022, City narrowly pipped Liverpool to the title by one point, overcoming a 2-0 deficit against Aston Villa to eventually win 3-2.


Interestingly, there are  two identical Premier League trophies —one stays with the champions throughout the season, while the other is used by the Premier League itself. On Sunday, these trophies will be waiting at both the Etihad and Emirates Stadiums, ensuring they're ready for a title-winning celebration at either venue²³.
The magic of the Premier League lies in its unpredictability, and this final day promises to be a phenomenal spectacle! ????⚽????

Remember, anything can happen in football, and fans around the world eagerly await the drama that unfolds on this thrilling day.
