Arsenal have to cheer on their biggest rivals in Tottenham Hotspur who host Manchester City in a game that could turn the Premier League title race on its head
It's something that's happened on numerous occasions over the years and, while it's worked out in various moments, it's also been something not to lay your hat on as a fan.
Liverpool 2-1 Blackburn, 1995 Looking to make it a three-peat of Premier League titles, Manchester United were in desperate need of a final day favour from bitter rivals Liverpool. The Red Devils were in a title fight with Kenny Dalglish's Blackburn Rovers, who were two points clear of Sir Alex Ferguson's side on the last day of the season. They travelled to Anfield while United travelled to Upton Park to take on West Ham.
United, who were on the verge of completing the first piece of their Treble trifecta, surprisingly went a goal behind at The Theatre of Dreams through Les Ferdinand's first half opener. He might not have seen the banner in the away end reading 'Let Them Win' with Spurs fans' desperate to claim responsibility for the death of Arsenal's dreams of scoring back-to-back Premier League titles.
Highbury was privy to a topsy-turvy encounter in which the visitors were pegged back twice due to goals from Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. While a draw seemed on the cards with just minutes remaining, Leeds' Aussie hero in Mark Viduka smashed a late winner to earn United their eighth Premier League title win.
