The Premier League have warned fans from overstepping their bounds during the Premier League final matchweek.
Unlike last season when Manchester City pipped Arsenal to win their third consecutive Premier League title with four games to spare, it appears this season’s tussle for the title will go down to the final matchday.
Arsenal are leading the Premier League table with 83 points, a point better than Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
With two matches left for Arsenal and three matches for Manchester City to wrap up the season, Arsenal can drag the Premier League title race to the final matchweek if they defeat Manchester United in their next game on Sunday.
With the title race narrowing down to a two-horse race between the Gunners and Cityzens, the Premier League have warned fans, especially from the two top contenders, not to troupe into the pitch in the two remaining matches.
In a statement shared on the governing body’s social media handle, fans have been asked to remain in the stands before and after the final matchday and eschew hysterical proclivities to invade the pitch after the match.
The statement added erring fans will be prosecuted or face a ban.
“As we approach the exciting final stages of the season, we want to remind fans to show their support in a positive way and keep everyone safe on a matchday.
“The pitch is for players just as the stands are for supporters. Anyone who enters the field of play without permission is breaking the law and can face a ban and police action.
“Please keep matches safe and welcoming for everyone to enjoy,” Premier League statement reads.
Manchester City will become the first Premier League Club to win the competition four times on the bounce should they pip Arsenal again to clinch the title.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will end their 20-year wait for the Premier League trophy since they won it in the 2003/04 season under former legendary manager Arsene Wenger.
It is understood the excitement is building among fans of the two title contenders as the league climaxes, hence the move to by the Premier League to issue the cautionary note to forestall unnecessary crowd action in the stadiums.
