Gary Neville believes the Premier League title race between Arsenal and Manchester City will be decided on Tuesday night, when Tottenham host Pep Guardiola's side, live on Sky Sports.
Arsenal's 1-0 win at Manchester United means the two-way title race will definitely go down to this Sunday's final day, with the Gunners holding a one-point lead over City with one week of the season remaining.
However, City have a game in hand at Arsenal's north London rivals Spurs on Tuesday night, kick-off at 8pm. Should Guardiola's side win that game, they will hold a two-point lead over the Gunners with one round of Premier League fixtures left.
Neville believes both City and Arsenal - who face West Ham and Everton at home respectively on the final day - will both win those final matches, meaning Tuesday's match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will have the ultimate impact on where the top-flight trophy goes this season.
"Tuesday is the decider," he said on the Gary Neville Podcast. "A month ago, I said I look forward to the Tottenham vs Man City game.
"There are some moments along the way but it will come down to that game on Tuesday night. They [City and Arsenal] will not make mistakes on Sunday.
"Tuesday night is where it will decided - and there will be that expectant audience where you think: can Tottenham play? Can they cause them problems? They can, but can they take their few chances they will get in the game?"
