- Manchester City seeks to retain their title, facing West Ham, while Arsenal hopes for a City slip to win the championship
- Arsenal, on a five-game winning streak, needs a win against Everton and a City draw to secure their first title in 20 years
The Premier League season concludes today with an electrifying finale as Manchester City seeks to retain their title, facing off against West Ham United at home. West Ham, however, is determined to thwart City’s celebration.
Manchester City has displayed remarkable form, maintaining a 22-game unbeaten streak with 18 wins and just 4 draws over the past five months. They currently top the table with 88 points, holding a two-point lead over Arsenal, who will face Everton in their final match.
City’s recent 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur, highlighted by Erling Haaland’s double, has kept the title race firmly in their control.
Arsenal also has a shot at clinching the Premier League title for the first time in 20 years but will depend on Manchester City dropping points against West Ham United. Despite the uphill battle, Arsenal can take heart from their superior goal difference. A win against Everton, coupled with a City draw, would see Arsenal crowned champions. Notably, Arsenal’s last league triumph in 1988–89 came after starting the final day in second place.
Arsenal’s recent 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford briefly propelled them to the top of the table, though Manchester City reclaimed the lead with their game in hand. This season, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has demonstrated significant progress both technically and mentally, bringing the title race down to the final day.
Arsenal enters the final match on a five-game winning streak, including a clean sheet against Manchester United. Their strong defense has been a standout, with clean sheets in four of their last five matches. Even if they fall short of the title, Arsenal is poised to finish the season with the best defensive record in the league.
As Arsenal fans watch their team and anxiously check scores today, Everton represents the last hurdle. Everton has been in impressive form, remaining unbeaten in five games and securing 13 points out of a possible 15.
The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the Premier League season, with both Manchester City and Arsenal battling for the ultimate prize.
