After long months of fierce struggle, the Premier League title race will finally deliver its verdict this Sunday. With total suspense, since Manchester City and Arsenal are held on two points, and both hope to be crowned champions of England. Triple title holders, the Citizens are in a favorable position, since they have two more units than their London rivals in the standings (88 points against 86) as they enter this decisive 38th day.
Undefeated in the league for 22 games and a defeat at Aston Villa on December 6, 2023, Pep Guardiola’s men can win their fourth consecutive title, which no one has ever achieved in the history of the Premier League. To do this, they will have to beat a West Ham team already lost in the race for Europe (9th with 52 points). A team against whom City have not lost in 19 matches in all competitions and which the teammates of Phil Foden, just crowned best player in the Premier League, had mastered 3-1 in the first leg, on September 16.
Arsenal twenty years later?
At the same time, Arsenal, who no longer have their destiny in their hands, will have to pray that the Skyblues do not win while doing the job against Everton at the Emirates Stadium. In great form in 2024, Mikel Arteta’s men have only lost one match in the league since the turn of the year and have come out of a tough schedule alive in recent weeks, with victories against Chelsea (5- 0), Tottenham (2-3) and Manchester United (0-1). Authors of an exceptional season with 27 victories on the clock, the Gunners dream of offering a magical afternoon to their supporters and winning their first national title in twenty years.
The multiplex of the 38th day of the Premier League will take place this Sunday, May 19 from 5 p.m. It will be followed live on Canal +. The match between Manchester City and West Ham will be broadcast in full on Canal + Sport 360, the match between Arsenal and Everton on Canal + Foot.
