The Premier League title race will go to the final day and Manchester City will hold the advantage.
Pep Guardiola's side recorded a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday evening to finally overtake Arsenal after fulfilling their game in hand. The Citizens take just a two-point advantage into Sunday's Premier League finale with both teams hoping to be crowned champions.
Erling Haaland's second half brace ensured Spurs were unable to do their north London rivals a favour in their penultimate game of 2023/24 season. The result means City will be big favourites to record a fourth Premier League title in a row and become the first team in the division to do so.
Guardiola's side will go into their match against West Ham on Sunday knowing they need to claim three points to guarantee they lift the title at the Etihad Stadium. Arsenal face Everton at the Emirates in the knowledge they only stand a chance with a win.
For many, a City title win will seem inevitable but plenty of twists and turns could remain over the course of 90 minutes. The Premier League could yet be decided by goal difference.
