BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Emirates, Arsenal team news as the Gunners prepares to break a generational curse by winning the Premier on final day. Arsenal could become the first team in 35 years to win the English top-flight after starting the final day outside of top spot. Arteta has revealed those involved in today’s match as they prepare to surprise the world. Arsenal fans could see something a whole generation has missed if final Premier League day miracle happens.
Arsenal could become the first team in 35 years to win the English top-flight after starting the final day outside the top spot.
The last time any team accomplished this was in the 1988/89 season, and it was Arsenal who achieved this feat. Under the leadership of manager George Graham, Arsenal went to Anfield needing a two-goal victory over Liverpool, who were leading the league, to clinch the title. Alan Smith scored the first goal for Arsenal in the 53rd minute, his 23rd of the season, setting the stage for a tense finish. In a dramatic conclusion, Michael Thomas scored late, securing a 2-0 win and Arsenal’s first league title in 18 years.
Today, Mikel Arteta is eager to bring the Premier League crown back to Arsenal. The club has not won the league in 20 years, with their last triumph under Arsene Wenger in the 2003/04 season. However, they face tough competition from Manchester City.
Manchester City’s recent 2-0 victory over Tottenham moved them two points ahead of Arsenal going into the final weekend. A win for City against West Ham would secure their fourth consecutive title. If City fails, Arsenal needs to beat Everton to end their long title drought. Arsenal’s superior goal difference would see them crowned champions if both teams end up level on points.
Arsenal’s decisive match against Everton will be broadcast live on talkSPORT on Sunday, with commentary by Sam Matterface and former England striker Darren Bent.
