Premier League

Title: While nothing is official yet, Manchester City (85 points) are basically champions-elect after overtaking Arsenal (81) in recent weeks.

Pep Guardiola’s side will clinch their third successive Premier League title if they beat 11th-placed Chelsea on Sunday. But they could even be crowned champions without having to kick a ball if the Gunners lose to 16th-placed Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
