As noted by the Premier League, a loss or draw for Manchester City will confirm Arsenal as champions, while a win will set up a title showdown on the final day.

Mysterious cat predicts Bournemouth vs Man City

As seen on Instagram, Nimbus Pronos, the cat famous for predicting football results, has dropped its prediction for Bournemouth vs Manchester City.

The feline oracle predicts a draw, a result that will end Manchester City’s title chase this season and confirm Arsenal as champions before the final day.

The result could also mean that Bournemouth can no longer finish fifth even if they equal Liverpool on points on the final day, as the Reds have a superior goal difference.

Mikel Arteta backs Bournemouth

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta openly voiced his support for Bournemouth during his post-match conference after beating Burnley, claiming it is because of his friend, Andoni Iraola.

“The biggest ever. For Andoni [Iraola] and all the players, and all the people who are supporters of Bournemouth, I think we all are. We know that means tomorrow they get our support,” he said as quoted by Arsenal.com.

Guardiola tells City what to do

Guardiola admits that Bournemouth’s unbeaten run leading up to the match and noted that fighting to qualify for the UCL makes it even more difficult.

“17 games unbeaten. The only chance we have is to win, so we have to break that run; otherwise, it will be over. Always they have been difficult. Since last years, they have been tough, tough games,” he said as quoted by Mancity.com.
“They are playing to qualify for the Champions League. When you arrive in the last fixtures, and the opponent doesn’t play for anything, it’s easier, but that is not the case.”
