The English Premier League is pressed into Sunday service this weekend, as the penultimate round of fixtures sets things up for the grand finale at both ends of the table.
Saturday’s schedule has been cleared for the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.
And that gives leaders Arsenal the perfect opportunity to leave City’s title ambitions in the last chance saloon.
Mikel Arteta’s side have a golden chance by virtue of a home game against long-since relegated Burnley, as the contrasting pair contest the sole Monday night match.
A win at the Emirates Stadium will leave Pep Guardiola’s men needing to match that in their catch-up fixture on Tuesday night, before hoping to usurp the Gunners on the final day.
Anything less in that scenario and the north London club will be crowned champions for the first time since Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles back in 2004.
Sunday’s packed EPL programme kicks off with Manchester United facing Nottingham Forest at lunchtime.
Victory for the Red Devils would all but seal a third-placed finish and end what had threatened to be another tortuous campaign on a high, as well as celebrating interim boss Michael Carrick being handed the job on a permanent basis.
Only Aston Villa could mathematically catch them, thanks to their 4-2 humiliation of limping Liverpool on Friday night.
Pride is the only remaining incentive for Forest, whose vastly improved form sees them safe from relegation with two games to spare.
West Ham must wait until the late kick off to resume their scramble to beat the drop, when they go to Newcastle.
The Hammers would go back above sole relegation rivals Tottenham if they can wrangle a priceless three points on Tyneside, against Eddie Howe’s charges who can’t wait for a thoroughly irritating season to end.
Spurs will have an even more anxious wait if their capital city neighbours do so, with an alarming London derby at Cup finalists Chelsea in prospect for them on Tuesday.
Bournemouth’s incredible effort, having lost so many star players last summer and with boss Andoni Iraola heading for the exit at the end of this season, sees them still within a chance of qualifying for the Uefa Champions League.
They’ll be doing it the hard way if they manage it, too, with Manchester City heading to the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday.
That delay gives Brighton the chance to sneak ahead in the race for Europe when they go to Leeds on Sunday.
Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls are finishing strongly and would go sixth with a win at Elland Road, as they take on Daniel Farke’s side who are breathing easily having secured their survival thanks to an improved second half of the campaign.
Brentford are also pushing for some continental action next term and they have a London derby at home to Crystal Palace to contend with.
The Bees will start favourites with the Eagles finishing with a whimper as coach Oliver Glasner prepares for his Selhurst Park exit.
Everton and Sunderland could both be destined for mid-table obscurity despite both having shown flashes of more throughout the season.
The pair meet at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with David Moyes’ side a point and two places above his former club, who have defied the odds and then some since promotion from the Championship a year ago.
Molineux bids farewell to the Premier League, meanwhile, when Wolves play Fulham.
The home side knew their fate a good while ago, as the second tier beckons for the Black Country club, while the visitors have seen their season fizzle out while speculation rages around the future of boss Marco Silva.
