The Premier League title race will go to the last day of the season after Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Gunners have leapfrogged Manchester City back into first place, sitting one point clear of the reigning champions and boasting a slightly superior goal difference.

City will take back top spot with a win at Arsenal's rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, but Mikel Arteta's side have ensured the English crown could still be sitting atop their heads next weekend.
United were blunt back on home soil after being mauled by Crystal Palace on Monday but at least put up a respectable fight amid a new batch of injuries. They remain in eighth place and are an outside shot to qualify for Europe at this point.

An opportunity arose at the other end when Thomas Partey was caught napping in possession and forfeited it to Scott McTominay, but Rasmus Hojlund slipped when trying to hit his strike cleanly.
Despite United starting brightly and actually seeing more of the ball, Arsenal went in front midway through the first half. Casemiro was caught way out of position and Kai Havertz was able to race in down the right and deliver a low cross for Leandro Trossard, who got in front of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and made no mistake from close range.
Ben White then flashed a shot across the face of Onana's goal as United threatened to collapse again after going one down, but the hosts got to the break without giving up another major chance, though they did not create one more for themselves.
