The Premier League title race comes to the final day for only the tenth time in its history, which begs the question: where will the trophy be when the games take place?
That’s almost a trick question considering there will be a trophy at both the Etihad Stadium and the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The Premier League actually has two identical trophies: the original and the replica. The former lives with the reigning champion and is eventually passed on to the next champion, while the replica exists for a range of other purposes, including promotional events.
As the original trophy is already in City’s possession after they won the title last season, that version of the trophy will be at the Etihad on Sunday, while the replica made the trip to North London in case Arsenal need it. Both teams also have their championship-winning line-ups ready to go: medals, confetti and fireworks are ready in both stadiums should the situation arise.
The odds are in favor of City, who have a two-point lead heading into the final day of the season. The reigning champions will host West Ham, while Arsenal will need a win over Everton and some help from David Moyes’ side to win their first title in 20 years.
City will win the title if they win or if Arsenal drop points. The Gunners need to win and see City drop points.
