The Premier League trophy has been spotted in attendance at the Etihad Stadium ahead of the huge clash between Manchester City and Arsenal. The match could be a key factor in deciding which team will lift the trophy at the end of the season, with the race finely poised.
The Gunners currently lead the way with a five point gap over their rivals, but with an extra two games played, City could make up the ground. However, should the north London outfit manage a win in Manchester, the league is in their hands with an eight point lead in their favour.
It won't be the deciding factor for Mikel Arteta though, who said before the game: "No, if we win tomorrow night we haven't won, for sure. It would shift the percentage a little bit but five games in this league with the games we still have to play it's very tricky still."

The match has certainly been built to be the biggest in the season so far for everyone involved, with many hopeful that the match will deliver too. It could be the decider for the title come the end of the campaign, with both the Gunners and City still aiming to lift it for themselves.
Many at the game may get a sneak peek of the trophy as well as it was spotted at the Etihad Stadium ahead of the game in a special case. Viaplay journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft posted a video that showed off the trophy being brought out to the centre circle on the pitch.
It was brought in to do some filming before the clash, with the conversations around the match all likely to hint at the permutations on the race itself.
