It has taken 10 months and 37 games to get to this point – and now there is only this one game of Premier League action where the champion is to be decided.
Manchester City and Arsenal have been locking horns the entire season, battling it out to see who will win.
And, like last season, it comes down to the final day.
All Manchester City and Pep Guardiola need to do on Sunday is to match whatever Arsenal do, and they will be crowned champions for the fourth year in a row.
On the other hand, Arsenal will have to hope their rivals fail to get all three points to stand any chance of winning the league for the first time in 20 years.
All 10 games will kick off at 5pm on Sunday to add to the drama and tension.
Manchester City will host West Ham United, while Arsenal will be at home to Everton.
Arsenal and Manchester City fans will have a few fingernails left by the final whistle on Sunday. Still, regardless of the outcome, it has been another rollercoaster of a Premier League season.
All the action will be live on DStv channel 203.
➤ Having three out of four teams still in the “race for the last eight” in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship is already a notable achievement, but all those teams could take a knock this weekend.
The Lions are under attack. The Johannesburg team has put in a few top performances lately, and they still have a shot at being in the top eight. But they are lying 10th, and they are facing the Glasgow Warriors at Emirates Airline Park. Sadly, teams have been throwing games in VURC, and Glasgow is top of the log and doesn’t need to win.
The Bulls are fourth on the log, and the Stormers are fifth. Neither of these teams can afford to lose these matches if they hope to get into the top four, which will give them a home-ground advantage in the semi-finals. The Bulls are playing Benetton at Loftus Versveld and should canter home, but the Stormers have it all to do, playing Connacht in Galway.
The Sharks? As we all know, the Sharks are out of it courtesy of some pathetic performances throughout the year. They have nothing to play for except pride – if they have any of that left. They play Cardiff, who have lost their last eight games on the trot, but it is not a certainty that the Sharks will show up on the night.
Vodacom Bulls vs Benetton on Saturday at 2pm
Emirates Lions vs Glasgow Warriors on Saturday at 4pm
Connacht vs DHL Stormers on Saturday at 6pm
Hollywoodbets Sharks vs Cardiff Rugby on Saturday at 6.15pm
All matches live on DStv channels 201 and 211
