Manchester City stand poised to secure a historic fourth successive Premier League title, but Arsenal remain hopeful for a dramatic turn of events on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's dominant squad enters the final day with a two-point lead over second-placed Arsenal, bolstered by an impressive eight-game winning streak. City, who will host West Ham, are heavily favoured to claim the title, solidifying their unparalleled dominance in English football.
Arsenal, facing Everton at home, have shown remarkable form in 2024, with 15 wins and one draw in 17 matches. However, a costly 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa last month may prove pivotal in this thrilling title race, which also saw Liverpool as contenders until their recent falters.
City have displayed relentless form, dropping just six points since mid-December with draws against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal. As they close in on their sixth title in seven seasons under Guardiola, the Premier League's competitiveness has been called into question.
Guardiola refutes claims that City's success is solely due to their financial power, pointing out that rivals like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal have spent similarly.
David Moyes will manage West Ham for the last time at the Etihad Stadium, and he conceded it would be a monumental task to stop City from winning. Arsenal, last season's runners-up, must beat Everton and hope for a City slip to end their 20-year title drought. Mikel Arteta remains optimistic, emphasising the importance of keeping the dream alive until the final whistle.
Elsewhere, Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp prepares for an emotional farewell after nine memorable years, with his team guaranteed a third-place finish regardless of their result against Wolves. Manchester United, at risk of missing out on European football, must outperform Newcastle to avoid their worst finish since 1990.
Tottenham, needing just a point against Sheffield United, aim to secure fifth place, while Chelsea targets a top-six finish with a draw against Bournemouth.
At the bottom of the table, Luton faces relegation unless they beat Fulham and Nottingham Forest fail to win at Burnley. Even with a victory, Luton’s poor goal difference requires a near-miraculous turn of events to stay up.
The Premier League's final day promises high drama and potential upsets as teams fight for glory and survival.
