There is, after all, still the intriguing possibility that the championship is decided on goal difference for just the second time in the Premier League era.
So, for example, if Arsenal beat Everton a single goal, City would need to win by four.
Such a close finish would be unprecedented in the Premier League era.
If City defeat Spurs but then draw with West Ham, and Arsenal win against Everton, then we are back in goal-difference territory again.
Following City’s victory over Fulham on Saturday, Arsenal knew they realistically had to win both their games to have a chance at securing their first Premier League title since the 2003-04 season.
