Manchester City will not have the Premier League trophy presented to them by Richard Masters this weekend. The team secured the opportunity to claim a fourth successive Premier League title by defeating Tottenham, putting them one victory away from another English top-flight success. West Ham will be their opponents this weekend, with little to play for as David Moyes is set to exit the club. While Manchester City are favorites, Masters will be at Arsenal’s final game of the season rather than at the Etihad Stadium.
The Premier League has confirmed that if Manchester City wins this weekend, the trophy will be presented by Alison Brittain. Masters’ absence from the potential title celebration comes amidst the club’s ongoing dispute with the Premier League over financial irregularities. Despite the 115 charges against the club, Masters emphasized the importance of maintaining the competitive nature of the league until the final day.
On the final day of the season, two Premier League trophies will be prepared in anticipation of a Manchester City victory. 40 Premier League medals will also be ready for each match and celebrations like fireworks and confetti are planned at both stadiums. The uncertainty surrounding the title race is overshadowed by Manchester City’s strong position going into the last fixture.
