⚽ Today in the Egyptian Premier League: Zamalek hosts Ceramica Cleopatra at 8:30pm in a bid to secure three points and narrow its gap with Pyramids, which is currently in third place in the league, six points ahead of the White Knights. Tala’ea El Gaish, meanwhile, will hit the field against Ghazl El Mahalla at 5pm.
Will the English Premier League title be settled tonight? Manchester City clashes with Arsenal at 9pm tonight in a match that could tip the scale in either team’s favor, with just five points separating the two — although Man City has the advantage, having played two fewer games. The Gunners are currently at the top of the league with 75 points from 32 games, while the two-time defending champions are in second place with 70 points from 30 games, giving them a chance to end up at the top of the league if they win their two delayed fixtures. A tie today would leave things unchanged, while a victory for Man City would put the team just two points behind Arsenal, with another six points it could secure from its two delayed games. Arsenal sorely needs a victory tonight to secure an eight-point advantage over Man City and clinch the championship title, which it hasn’t earned since the 2003-2004 season.
