all about the Premier League ‘final’

This Wednesday, the 26th, the manchester city receives the Arsenal, in a match valid for the 33rd round of the English Championship. The match is placed as the ‘final’ of the Premier League, as the leader and runner-up will take the field in the last direct confrontation of the season. With five points of difference, the Gunners need to win to depend on themselves to win the title.

Manchester City, after a period of oscillation in the season, resumed the good phase and shortened the difference in the Premier League table with Arsenal. The abyss that was once eight points, is now five, even with two games less for the Citizens. Therefore, a tie in the direct confrontation leaves the destiny of the team of guardiola in your own hands.

On the other hand, Arsenal, who started the season with everything, had some moments of oscillation, tied in the last three rounds and saw their distance in the table shortened. Therefore, the only way that the Gunners can continue the campaign without worrying about other people’s results is to conquer a victory in Etihad Stadium.

Therefore, the match has enormous potential to decide the Premier League title for either side. However, even with a negative result in the confrontation, nothing is decided and there will still be five matches for Arsenal and another seven for City to seek a turnaround in the competition.

Mikel Arteta, coach of Arsenal, has already worked at Manchester City, as an assistant to Pep Guardiola, and can win his first Premier League as a effective coach of a club. On the other hand, the Spaniard who has dominated the league for years could establish even greater hegemony in England as he seeks his fifth league title.
