Near-perfect Arsenal have the look of champions

Manchester United                   0

Arsenal                                          1
Trossard 20

TO WIN a first championship in 20 years, Arsenal probably need a favour from bitter rivals Tottenham tomorrow night but, whatever happens in Manchester City's visit to the other end of the Seven Sisters Road, Mikel Arteta's side have taken the title race to the wire.

It promises to be the strangest of atmospheres at Spurs, with the majority of the 60,000 home fans actively willing their side to a defeat which would end their hopes of a return to the Champions League next season.

The alternative - Arsenal with the title in their hands when they host Everton on the final day - is simply unthinkable for Spurs.

As the Arsenal fans filed out of Old Trafford in a biblical rain storm, there was the odd strain of 'Come on you Spurs', while Kai Havertz, who supplied the winning goal for Leandro Trossard, admitted afterwards he is "going to be the biggest Tottenham fan ever" tomorrow night.

The game will be uncomfortable viewing for everyone associated with Arsenal, not least because Ange Postecoglou's side have shown little of late to suggest they are capable of stunning City, even with a top-four finish still on the line.
