The race for the Premier League title between Arsenal and Manchester City is becoming increasingly fierce and there is a real possibility that the two teams will end the season with equal points.
But how does the champion decide in such a situation?
According to Premier League regulations, the ranking is initially determined by the number of points, English media reports, reports "Gazeta Express".
If two teams are equal on points, then the following criteria come into effect, in this order:
– Goal difference
– Number of goals scored
– Points earned in head-to-head matches
– Away goals in head-to-head matches
If the teams remain tied after these criteria, then the title is decided through a play-off match on a neutral field.
Currently, the differences between Arsenal and Manchester City are minimal, both in goal difference and in the number of goals scored, which makes a dramatic scenario even more likely by the end of the season.
Even in an extreme situation where everything is equal, the Premier League could declare the champion through a decisive match – something that has never happened before in history. /Express newspaper
