While London fans were already planning celebrations for their first title in over two decades, a series of poor results have pushed Manchester City back into the top spot. Mikel Arteta's team suffered an unexpected defeat to Bournemouth, which Pep Guardiola seized upon, taking control of the championship fate once again with a convincing victory over Chelsea. The statistics relentlessly favor the Citizens, who under Guardiola's leadership achieved an incredible 29 wins in 32 matches played in the month of April. On the other hand, Arteta is facing the traditionally worst period of the season, confirmed by a sharp drop in title chances from 91 to just 56 percent. The decisive moment of the season could come as early as this Sunday in the big derby at the Etihad, a stadium where Arsenal has never celebrated a win under their current manager. While red alarms are sounding in North London, the football community in England is increasingly speculating about another stumble by the Gunners under pressure at the very finish of the race. All eyes are now on the "final before the final," which will directly determine the new or old ruler of the Premier League.
