Well, the answer is a potpourri of fascinating rules and statistical quirks that make the beautiful game even more tantalizing.

The weekend's action proved to be pivotal, as Arsenal secured a commanding 5-2 victory over West Ham while Chelsea also triumphed 3-0 against Aston Villa.

The Premier League rules have a unique hierarchy for such tie situations, and in this instance, goals scored take precedence.

But hold on, it gets even weirder! The true source of Arsenal’s advantage can be succinctly captured in one outrageous phrase: “Sometimes, it’s all in a name!” That's right, folks! A little-known rule states that should two teams finish the season level on points and goal difference, the rank is determined alphabetically! So, if Arsenal and Chelsea maintain their current trajectory, the “A” in Arsenal might just outshine the “C” in Chelsea come the end of the season! Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill!

It’s interesting to consider how the footballing lexicon has morphed into our pop culture tapestry, especially in Nigeria where fan loyalty is fiercely defended.
