By wrapping up the championship with a game to spare, Arsenal completely avoided the agonising tension of final-day drama. Manchester City's unexpected slip-up against a resilient Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium left them on 78 points, while Arsenal’s impressive tally of 82 points mathematically ended the title race with a four-point gap.
After grinding out a gritty, nervous win against relegated Burnley, the final match of the season will serve as a glorious victory lap for the north London side, turning Sunday’s away trip to face Crystal Palace into a purely celebratory occasion for the newly crowned champions.
