In the early morning of May 13, Beijing time, the 37th round of the English Premier League staged a key battle, the Gunners Arsenal defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 1-0 away, and once again overtook Manchester City to return to the top of the standings. In this way, the suspense of the Premier League title will be reserved until the final round. For the Gunners, who led the tournament for a long time last season but missed out on the title one round early, whether they can win the title this season is a huge improvement.

Prior to this campaign, Manchester City beat Fulham 4-0 away, overtaking Arsenal by two points. This means that if the Gunners are unable to win against Manchester United, Manchester City will win one of their remaining two games to win the title, and the suspense of this season's Premier League title will be over. Fortunately, the gunman didn't let this happen.

Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, who have been in good form of late, continued to partner up front, while Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and defensive stalwart Harry Maguire were sidelined by injury. Casemiro continued to join Evans at the back. After the opening, the Gunners attacked aggressively, and Manchester United also counterattacked frequently with the advantage of home advantage. In the 20th minute, the Gunners counter-attacked after the ball broke in the middle of the game, Manchester United failed to create an offside position due to Casemiro's delay, Havertz seized the opportunity to drive in and provide an assist, and Trossard outflanked the goal, and the Gunners led 1-0 away.

In the ensuing period, the two sides continued to attack each other, with Manchester United goalkeeper Onana making a number of heroic saves, while teenager Garnacho used his individual ability to create danger on several occasions. However, despite the deployment of troops by both sides, they have never been able to break the goal again. In the end, 90 minutes were over, and the Gunners won 1-0 away.

After this campaign, Arsenal won 27 of their 37 Premier League games, setting a record for a single Premier League win in team history, and they once again overtook Manchester City by one point to return to the top of the table, with a three-point lead on goal difference. In the final round of the Premier League, Arsenal will host the Toffees Everton, and winning the opponent is their only option. Of course, the initiative to win the title is still in the hands of Manchester City.

Manchester City's four-goal win in this round not only gave them a crucial three points, but also further narrowed the goal difference disadvantage. However, for them, winning all games is the only way to ignore Arsenal's victory and hold the title firmly in their arms. According to the schedule, Manchester City will challenge the bitter Tottenham Hotspur in the 29th round of the Premier League in the early morning of the 15th, and then host West Ham United in the last round on the evening of the 19th.

Judging by the schedule, Manchester City's physical strength will be tested somewhat. The away game against Tottenham is the ultimate test of their season. If they bite this hard bone, Manchester City will have no suspense in winning the title, after all, the quality of West Ham United cannot pose any threat to them. Once they drop points at Tottenham, Manchester City will have to fight Arsenal on goal difference if they draw, and the Gunners can only hope for a final gutter overturn. Neither option is what Pep Guardiola's side want. However, this suspenseful title battle is what the media and fans want to see, and this is the Premier League.
