The Premier League’s Final Day: A Title Race for the Ages
As the Premier League season comes to a close, the title race is still very much alive. Manchester City, the current leaders, will face off against West Ham United at home, while Arsenal, hot on their heels, will take on Everton at the Emirates. The stakes are high, and the tension is palpable.
But amidst all the excitement, a peculiar scenario has emerged. Premier League CEO Richard Masters will be attending the Arsenal vs Everton match, while chair Alison Brittain will be present at Manchester City’s game. This, of course, means that Masters will avoid the awkward situation of presenting City with the Premier League trophy, should they win, while they are still facing 115 breaches of the league’s financial fair play rules.

Masters has been tight-lipped about the situation, stating that the case will resolve itself in the near future. When asked about the potential problem of City winning the title while the charges are still pending, he replied, “It’s not for the football authorities to start being selective about who they would like to win the league. The key point is that you’ve got that jeopardy until the final day.”
The hearing for the case is set for October or November, with a decision expected by the summer of 2025. City, for their part, strongly deny the charges.
