With a video doing the rounds on social media of Arsenal readying themselves for the possibility of a title lift taking place, rival supporters have been quick to suggest that the Premier League is writing its own storylines. One of those, @jogo_don, says “this looks scripted”, while @StamfordReacts claims “The most obvious scripted league ever. I’ll be knee sliding every city goal on Sunday”. Another, @Oloye_Ayo, said “City definitely not winning today - Arsenal will win the league, everything looks scripted already”. Plenty of others have, however, laughed off the rehearsal and instead poked fun at the Gunners, with @sakibk13 among those to favour a “banter” theme as he posted: “Thanks for preparing the meme material.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Arsenal have not enjoyed domestic supremacy since their fabled ‘Invincibles’ claimed the Premier League crown without losing a game in 2003-24. A late wobble prevented them from sustaining a challenge for ultimate glory last season, and tangible success may once again fall agonisingly out of reach.
WHAT NEXT?
The Gunners need favours from elsewhere if they are to get their hands on major silverware. If City were to drop points against West Ham, then the door would be left open for Arsenal. They are facing an Everton side that has won four of his last five games, but all of those triumphs have come at Goodison Park.
