Duel for the crown of England. Like last year, Manchester City and Arsenal meet in the spring, in a decisive clash for the title. Neck and neck with Liverpool, the three teams are within 1 point on the podium. Arsenal is currently the Premier League leader, thanks to a better goal difference than Liverpool (64 pts). The draw (1-1) between Liverpool and City benefited the Gunners who seized the throne, and do not intend to let it slip a second time after narrowly losing it in 2023.
As for Manchester City, the outgoing champions are third (63 pts) and are putting pressure on their two challengers. After a less perfect start to the season than usual, they finally got back on track to join the race for victory. As is often the case, they shift into higher gear at the finish of the final sprint. So this Sunday, the show is guaranteed.
The meeting will be followed at 5:30 p.m. on Canal, and will also be available with live commentary on our Figaro website.
