Sunday hour time.
So what early hours of Monday morning for you?
This is it.
This is the title decider, which looked unthinkable a few weeks ago with Arsenal serenely progressing and Manchester City wobbling.
And it looked like finally Arsenal would win this Premier League first time in over 20 years.
They would banish the memories of the last few seasons where they finished second, either behind Liverpool or behind Manchester City.
And then all of a sudden they have just had this massive wobble where
They were wobbling in the Premier League.
Then they lost in the FA Cup to Southampton in the Championship.
They only just got past Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, won in the first leg.
They play their second leg.
tomorrow, and they lose, as you say, against Bournemouth.
And suddenly, it's in Manchester City's hands because of the game they play at the Etihad on Sunday.
So the gap is six points, but Manchester City have a game in hand.
That game in hand comes in a couple of weeks away at Burnley, who are 19th in the table.
You fancy Manchester City to win that.
So if they beat Arsenal on Sunday and they beat Burnley, then you expect them to be
level on points with Arsenal but probably ahead because of the goal difference which will almost certainly be better than Arsenal's which makes this game on Sunday colossal and if Manchester City win it then they become title favourites Arsenal are still I think the favourites you would still much rather be in their position you speak to any manager and they always say give me the points on the board yes games in hand are great but it matters not if you lose them
Well, firstly on that, massive for Leeds, who I think are all but safe now.
They were in the relegation battle, but that victory has given them a level of comfort now.
