Manchester City is on the brink of their fourth successive title after a clinical 2-0 win away at Tottenham on Tuesday night took them two points above their closest rival Arsenal.
Now in the lead, the reigning champions only need to match Arsenal's performance on the final day to hold onto their crown and win an unprecedented fourth straight title, a feat unheard of in the league's 135-year history.
Arsenal can look back at the season and be proud of what they have achieved. Liverpool has been there, and you can now understand how Jurgen Klopp feels about his fate in the hands of the supreme lord of the league, Pep Guardiola.
David Moyes appears to have given up, telling newsmen on Sunday that he doesn't see his side beating Manchester City's under-14 side, when asked if his team can ruin Guardiola's beautiful script.
Although the performance at Tottenham wasn't particularly remarkable, champions have the ability to overcome challenges in high-pressure situations. Tottenham had numerous opportunities to challenge their visitors, but Stefan Ortega stood out for his outstanding performance.
Christian Romero clattered Ederson into the German goalkeeper, who thought a brief cameo would be worth the man of the match award, especially for the save he made from Heung Min Son's effort before it became 2-0.
How does an average Arsenal fan feel right now? Despair, disappointment, and pain Not for lack of effort, but you must be perfect to stand a chance against Manchester City. Dominating most of the stats won’t matter if you don’t have your ribbons on the trophy.
With their manager out of the picture and Julien Lopetegui taking his place, West Ham will head to the Etihad with nothing to lose.
Everton is safe; they only have pride to play for at the Emirates. Arsenal is expected to beat them, but they must be wary of Everton’s good defense, a testament to the great work Sean Dyche has done at the club. However, Arsenal should beat them.
