The final day of the English Premier League season will decide who walks away with the trophy, sort of ...
The juggernaut that is Manchester City hold a two point lead over Arsenal and host West Ham on Sunday while the Gunners battle Everton at the Emirates Stadium.
It has all the makings of a thrilling last day of a season that has had it all but it won't be as there is no way that Pep Guardiola's City will slip up against David Moyes' Hammers, they are too damn good, I fully expect the London side to fall apart like a piece of cheap Decofurn furniture at the Etihad Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's side have to hope, pray and cross every finger and toe for a miracle that's simply not going to happen.
City are 115 times better than anyone else in the league at the moment as their superstars have been molded into a dream team by the imperious Spanish coach.
For Moyes, it's his last game in charge of West Ham after he was informed that he was being let go at the end of the campaign, so he will be motivated to end on a high but as he said earlier this week 'It would be difficult to stop their Under-14s winning the title' when asked if his team could halt the champions run to a fourth league title on the trot.
Interestingly, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters will attend Arsenal’s final game of the season, avoiding the scenario of presenting City with the Premier League trophy when they have been charged with 115 breaches, according to The Athletic.
Sunday will also be the last time that Jurgen Klopp is charge of Liverpool as he has decided to leave the club and hang up his coaching whistle.
This was supposed to be a season when the Reds got to send him off in style, there was even talk of them winning an unprecedented quadruple but that was fizzled out as they have stumbled in the latter part of the season after leading the title race for longer than any other team.
They were also dumped out of the Europa league and FA Cup but they will, at least, have the Carabao Cup to show for their efforts this season as the German mentor leaves Anfield with eight trophies, including the Champions League and their first league title in 30 years.
Not a bad haul considering he was up against the might of City during his whole time in England.
His league title was during the Covid-19 season of 2020/21 and that makes it even more impressive as he didn't have the feverish Reds fans screaming from The Kop to roar them on as they fought it out with the Citizens.
Some have said that this title is tainted as he didn't have to battle away fans but, for me, it's more impressive as he had to keep his squad focused while the world was falling down around them.
He is being mentioned in the same hushed tones as the legendary Bill Shankly and that's a little much but he can certainly be proud of what he has done for Liverpool as he dragged them from the darkness and into the light.
The Champions League places are also all set with Aston Villa joining City, Arsenal and Liverpool in the competition next season after Tottenham Hotspur's capitulation against the Sky Blues on Tuesday night ended their chances and, let's be honest, nobody cares about the Europa League and Europa Conference League ...
Although the question over Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United is still up for debate, there is simply no interest besides from the fans of the red half of Manchester who've endured another painful season of, well, nothing happening.
There will be no relegation scrap on the final day either as Sheffield United (16 points) and Burnley (24) are long gone.
Luton have the smallest, tiniest, most miniscule chance of staying up as they have 26 points and Nottingham Forest are on 29 but with a much better goal difference (12 better in fact) so the odds are not in their favour as they face Fulham on the last day and Forest visit already relegated Burnley.
So, a season that was filled with thrills and spills for 37 games is going to be a bit of a letdown in week 38 unless the Hammers turn into the 1970 Brazil team and City turn back into their old selves, the one before the oil money ...
