Arsenal's club staff were seen rehearsing their Premier League trophy presentation should the eventuality arise that the north London outfit win their first league since 2004 on Sunday afternoon. <br/><br/>The Gunners sit two points behind Manchester City, second in the standings, and take on Everton at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow afternoon. <br/><br/>Pep Guardiola's side, meanwhile, are on the cusp of claiming their fourth consecutive league title and will be crowned champions should they claim victory tomorrow against West Ham. <br/><br/><br/>Yet, should City drop points at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow and Arsenal claim victory, their superior goal difference would mean that Mikel Arteta's side will clinch their first Premier League title since 2004. And it seems every eventuality is being catered for at the Emirates ahead of what could be a thrilling final day. <br/><br/>A video has now emerged online showing Arsenal's staff practicing the trophy presentation. <br/><br/>The club had laid banners reading 'Premier League champions' all over the pitch, while a stage emblazoned with the Premier League logo, had been erected in the centre circle. <br/><br/>The Premier League trophy can also be seen standing on a plinth on the stage. An identical trophy will be in Manchester this weekend if City go on to win the league instead. <br/><br/>Staff can be seen queueing and walking onto the stage, just as the players would do to collect their medals. <br/><br/>Members of the club shook hands with each other, with one person appearing to present those walking onto the stage with pretend medals.<br/><br/>An expert engraver will be on hand at each stadium to etch the required team's name onto the trophy, while a set of 40 medals will be ready to be presented at each ground.<br/><br/>Should Arsenal go on to win the league, an open-top bus parade will take place through the streets of Islington on Monday, May 20.<br/><br/>Ahead of the final day of the season, Arteta had pleaded with David Moyes to help his Arsenal side clinch their first league title in 20 years. <br/><br/>The Spanish football manager played under the Scot during his time at Everton and was hopeful West Ham could take points away from City on Sunday. <br/><br/>'He [Moyes] has been instrumental in my career,' Arteta said. <br/><br/>'Not just as a footballer, but as a person as well. If he could help us to fulfill our dream and my dream to win the Premier League, that will be unbelievable and he'll always be in my memory, that's for sure.'<br/><br/>The Gunners will rue dropping points to Aston Villa during their 2-0 defeat on April 14, which seemingly saw them slip behind City in the title race. <br/><br/>Yet, Arteta still has faith that his side can win the title heading into the final weekend. <br/><br/>'I do believe,' the 42-year-old told BBC Sport earlier this week. <br/><br/>'We wanted to be in this position.

The incident occurred in the second half, and despite initial attempts to continue playing, Ederson was eventually withdrawn from the match.<br/><br/>The footage, shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), shows Ederson lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious, as players from both teams urgently signaled for medical assistance. Despite appearing groggy when he returned to his feet, Ederson was allowed to play on for several minutes before Guardiola decided to replace him with backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. This decision led to a visibly frustrated Ederson storming off the pitch.<br/><br/>Pep Guardiola later defended the club's handling of the situation, insisting that Ederson did not suffer a concussion but rather an eye injury from the collision, which saw Romero receive a booking. However, leading brain injury association Headway criticized Man City's response, arguing that the player's condition warranted immediate substitution under concussion protocols.<br/><br/>Headway's chief executive, Luke Griggs, emphasized the principle of \")
