ABU DHABI: Manchester City have announced that the newly developed and expanded North Stand at the Etihad Stadium will be named The Pep Guardiola Stand.
Hull City will play Middlesbrough for a place in the Premier League after Southampton failed on Wednesday to overturn their expulsion from the Championship playoff final for spying on opponents. Southampton were thrown out of the final on Tuesday, and handed a four-point deduction for next season, after they had beaten semifinal opponents Middlesbrough. “The original sanction of expulsion... remains in place, as does the four-point deduction to be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table and the reprimand in respect of all charges,” the English Football League (EFL) said in a statement. The final will be at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday, kicking off at 3:30pm local time. Southampton had admitted the charge of illegally spying on an opponent within 72 hours of a scheduled match.
Arsenal was crowned Premier League champion for the first time since 2004 on Tuesday after Manchester City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth. The result put an end to City’s title challenge with one round of the season go. Pep Guardiola’s team needed to win at the Vitality Stadium to take it down to the final game of the campaign on Sunday. But the draw left Arsenal with an unassailable four-point lead at the top, ending its 22-year wait for the title. Arsenal fans celebrated wildly outside its Emirates Stadium. City threatened another twist when Erling Haaland scored in stoppage time to equalize Junior Kroupi’s first-half strike, but it was too late to find a winner. Mikel Arteta’s players can now stand alongside club icons Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright, who previously led the club to the summit of English soccer.
LONDON: Arsenal are on the brink of ending a 22-year wait to win the Premier League after beating Burnley 1-0 on Monday to open up a five-point lead at the top. Kai Havertz headed in the only goal but was also lucky to avoid a second-half red card that could swung the title race back in Manchester City’s favor. The Gunners could be crowned champions as early as Tuesday should City fail to win at Bournemouth. Even if City do end the Cherries’ 16-game unbeaten run and beat Aston Villa, Arsenal will secure the title with victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday. However, the narrow margin of victory against a Burnley side that have long since been relegated does offer City hope. An Arsenal draw at Selhurst Park would allow City to snatch the title on goal difference if Pep Guardiola’s team win their final two matches. To add extra intrigue to the final days of the season, reports on Monday suggest Guardiola will leave City after a decorared decade in charge after Villa visit the Etihad on Sunday. Roared on by an expectant capacity crowd in their final home game of the season, Arsenal were tipped to put the Clarets to the sword with ease. Burnley have taken just two points from their last 10 matches but made Mikel Arteta’s men work for the three points on another nervy night at the Emirates. Leandro Trossard struck the post from the edge of the area before Bukayo Saka saw a penalty appeal waived away as he attempted to turn in Havertz’s low cross. Arsenal were forced to rely on their set piece threat once more to prise Burnley open. Havertz rose highest to power in Saka’s delivery on 37 minutes as they scored from a corner for the 18th time in the league this season. Yet the floodgates did not open and Arsenal were very
LONDON: Myles Lewis-Skelly is adamant Arsenal know better than anyone what they must do to secure the club’s first Premier League title in more than 20 years.
LONDON: Liverpool missed the chance to all but secure Champions League action next season after a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, while Manchester United were frustrated in a goalless stalemate at Sunderland on Saturday.
LIVERPOOL, England: Jérémy Doku scored a last-gasp equalizer for Manchester City to snatch a 3-3 draw at Everton and throw the Premier League title momentum back to leader Arsenal on Monday. The draw ended a run of three consecutive wins for City and left it five points behind the London club. City has a game in hand but the loss at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium meant the title was now Arsenal’s to lose. The Gunners have three games to play. City has four and knew it needed a win to keep the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side.
BIRMINGHAM, England: Tottenham Hotspur eased their Premier League relegation fears with a vital 2-1 victory at Aston Villa to move above West Ham United and out of the bottom three on Sunday. West Ham’s defeat by Brentford the day before opened the door for Tottenham and they took full advantage with Conor Gallagher’s low shot and Richarlison’s header punishing a lacklustre Villa inside the opening 25 minutes. Fifth-placed Villa were poor as they appeared to have one eye on Thursday’s Europa League semifinal, second leg against Nottingham Forest and their only effort on target was Emiliano Buendia’s consolation header seconds before the final whistle. Tottenham had gone 15 games without a league win and were careering toward their first relegation since 1977 before they finallystopped the rot at Wolverhampton Wanderers last week. Despite a host of injuries they returned to the West Midlands to produce a display that was unrecognizable from most of what they have served up this season. New manager Roberto de Zerbi has now taken seven points from his first four games in charge and while Tottenham are far from safe, they have momentum and belief heading into their final three games of the season. The win moved them into 17th place with 37 points from 35 games with West Ham on 36 from 35. They also have a far superior goal difference to their London rivals.
