Premier League Final Day
Manchester City notched up an 8th league win in a row after beating Spurs on Tuesday to strengthen their title credentials. It seems like Arsenal’s best efforts just simply haven’t been good enough for the Gunners to secure their first Premier League title in 20 years. Manchester host West Ham on the last day of the at the Etihad, while Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates. Arsenal requires nothing short of a win in order to give themselves the best possible chance at securing the title. Manchester City simply need to avoid defeat at home to West Ham, a ground that West Ham has not won at since 2015!
Only two years ago, Manchester City were in a similar position where they needed to avoid defeat against Aston Villa on the final day of the season to secure the Premier League title over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Aston Villa took a 2-0 lead in that game as manager of Villa at the time, Steven Gerrard, Looked to do his old club a massive favour. However, Manchester City pulled off the most miraculous comeback of its kind since the famous “Aguerooo” goal!
Arsenal and Mikel Arteta will be praying something similar does not happen this weekend as the Spaniard hopes to lead the Gunners to their first league title in 20 years. Pep Guardiola will have no time for sentiment as he looks to make history and become the first manager and team to win the Premier League four years running. Better yet, they still have an FA Cup Final to look forward to against cross-city rivals Manchester United.
Who will come out on top in this exciting final day of the season? Will the Gunners defy all odds and snatch the title from Pep Guardiola, or will Manchester CIty once again, come out on top of the pile in England?
