Despite what the Premier League table says, Pep Guardiola's men do still have a game in hand against Tottenham which could yet prove decisive in a barnstorming run-in between the two pace-setters.

As it stands, Arsenal sit top on 86 points with City tucked in behind on 85 having played one match fewer in a remarkably tight tussle for Premier League glory.

The two title contenders are streaking clear of the chasing pack, with Liverpool seven points adrift in third as they bid to secure Champions League qualification.

At the other end, all three teams that were promoted to the Premier League last season, Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United have all returned to the Championship as the relegation battle takes shape.

But all eyes will be trained on events at the summit in the final week as Arsenal and City go head-to-head in one of the most enthralling Premier League climaxes in living memory.

Arsenal's nerve-shredding 1-0 success at Old Trafford made it five successive top-flight victories as the Gunners continue to lead the way in pursuit of a first title since 2004.

Yet City's relentless winning machine has not let up either, with Guardiola's men now unbeaten in 33 matches across all competitions following their Craven Cottage cruise.
