Background of the Match

Manchester City managed to top the table after their crucial win against Tottenham in the rescheduled match of the thirty-fourth round, pushing Arsenal down to second place.

Importance of the Match

Winning this match will ensure Manchester City's fourth consecutive and tenth overall Premier League title. On the other hand, West Ham aims to achieve a positive result to end the season well and strengthen their position in the standings.

Fan Expectations

Arsenal hopes to win against Everton while Manchester City stumbles against West Ham to reclaim the top spot in the table and win the title absent from the club's cabinets for 20 years.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta commented on the missed opportunity by Son Heung-min, a Tottenham Hotspur player, during their match against Manchester City in the thirty-seventh round of the Premier League.

Details of the Missed Opportunity

In that match, Manchester City was leading with one goal. In the 86th minute, Son had a one-on-one opportunity against Pep Guardiola's team but missed the golden chance to equalize.

Impact of the Opportunity on the Standings

If Son had scored the equalizer, Arsenal would have remained at the top of the Premier League table on goal difference ahead of Manchester City. However, the match ended with City's victory, putting them two points ahead of Arsenal.

Arteta's Comment

Arteta expressed regret over Son's missed chance, stating it was a crucial moment in the title race. Nevertheless, Arteta expressed confidence in his team's performance throughout the season and their ability to give their best in the final round.

Shortly after that opportunity, Manchester City scored a second goal to confirm their victory in the match. In his comments to the journalists, Mikel Arteta admired Son Heung-min's performance, stating that if he had to choose a player from the Premier League to take that shot at that moment, he would choose Son. Arteta pointed out that such crucial moments can happen to any player, even the biggest stars, like Michael Jordan in basketball, who had similar experiences in his sports career.

"That's the beauty of sports, what can we do?" Arteta added, emphasizing the moments of suspense and challenges encountered by teams in sports.

Although Arteta never won the Premier League title as a player when he played for Everton or Arsenal, he achieved this feat with the help of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Regarding the possibility of Arsenal winning the title now, he expressed great happiness, saying, "It will be one of the happiest days of my life, it's a big dream I didn't achieve as a player, so if I can achieve it with the people I work with daily, it will be wonderful." He added, "It was a great feeling to win the title as an assistant, holding the cup was beautiful."

Arsenal prepares to host their opponent Everton next Sunday in the final round of the Premier League, while Manchester City will face West Ham at the same time. Manchester City currently tops the table with 88 points, two points ahead of Arsenal, who are in second place.

Pep Guardiola confirms his stay as Manchester City's coach for the next season, hours before the decisive match with West Ham United, which will determine the champion of the Premier League. "Yes, I have a contract and I want to stay here," Guardiola said in a press conference, confirming his plan to stay at the club for the next season.

Reports have speculated about the possible end of the relationship between Manchester City and Pep Guardiola at the end of next season, with journalist David Ornstein from The Athletic site pointing out a "strong trend" within the club in this regard. However, Ornstein clarified that there is no evidence yet to support these rumors, indicating that the decision has not been made yet.

Manchester City is striving hard to achieve history and win the Premier League title for the fourth time in a row, in the final match of the season against West Ham. However, Arsenal closely monitors the situation and hopes for any stumble that may give them the opportunity to win the title absent from their cabinets for 20 years.

Manchester City will enter their final match against West Ham at the top of the Premier League table, two points ahead of their direct competitor Arsenal, who will face Everton in the final round as well. All matches will be played at the same time, adding extra tension to the competition.

Manchester City hasn't tasted defeat in 34 matches; however, they were eliminated from the quarter-finals of the Champions League by Real Madrid on penalties. City has an excellent record in their previous encounters with West Ham, winning their last seven matches against the team.

If they win the final match, Manchester City will secure the league title for the sixth time in seven seasons under Guardiola. This has led some voices to question the competitiveness of the English Premier League, considering that teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal should be in fierce competition with City, especially with similar amounts spent on player acquisitions in recent years.

In this context, Guardiola commented, "It's not boring; it's tough," indicating the challenge his team faces despite their past successes.
