When Man City can lift Premier League trophy after Arsenal defeat

Manchester City will lift the Premier League trophy in front of their own fans on Sunday if they beat Chelsea.

Arsenal's surprise 3-0 home defeat to Brighton immediately after a 2-0 win at Goodison Park for Pep Guardiola's side has opened up the possibility of City winning the league this week. The reigning Premier League champions will be crowned again on Saturday if the Gunners lose at Nottingham Forest, but can claim the prize outright regardless of Arsenal's result by winning their home game against Chelsea.

Should the title be decided this week, City and the Premier League will have the trophy presentation at the Etihad following the conclusion of the game. If the race goes into the final week but City still emerge victorious, they will lift the trophy at Brentford regardless of if they actually win the title at Brighton in midweek.
