Chelsea will give Manchester City a guard of honor at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday after Arsenal lost to Nottingham Forest, sealing their fate as the second placed team this season.
City, who moved to within one game of being champions last weekend when Arsenal lost 3-0 to Brighton at the Emirates Stadium, had already taken a major step towards a third straight league victory after beating Everton 3-0 earlier in the day. Mikel Arteta's team continued their recent collapse, though, meaning that Pep Guardiola could be crowned once more without his side playing.
It is the fifth time that the blue side of Manchester have won the league in the past six years as Guardiola's men surge towards a potential treble. For Chelsea, watching their London rivals slip up is a small boost ahead of the trip up north.
