As the PL almost comes to an end, Arsenal and Manchester City are the two clubs that are going neck-to-neck for the coveted Premier League title this season.

Arsenal stand in second place in the table with 86 points after sealing 27 victories in 37 matches. The two rivals have just a two-point gap.

If Manchester City win their upcoming game against West Ham United in the PL, they will win the ongoing season of the PL for the second consecutive time. While, Arsenal can win the title if they get a victory against Everton, City also needs to lose against West Ham.

Both City and Arsenal will play their upcoming match on Sunday. (ANI)
