BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) 鈥� This could be the day Arsenal ends its 22-year wait for the Premier League title.
If second-place Manchester City fails to beat Bournemouth away on Tuesday night, Arsenal will be crowned English champion for first time since the 2004, when the 鈥淚nvincibles鈥� went unbeaten under Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal, which on Monday, leads City by five points, so even a draw wouldn’t be enough for Pep Guardiola’s team heading into the final round of games on Sunday.

West Ham has been in the top flight since 2012.
