MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - The Premier League title race looks set to go down to the final day after Manchester City dropped two points with a 2-2 draw at West Ham United on Sunday.

Riyad Mahrez failed to a convert a late penalty that would have won the game for Pep Guardiola's side, who were 2-0 down at halftime at the London Stadium.

Both sides are at home for their last games - City face Aston Villa, managed by former Liverpool favourite Steven Gerrard, while Juergen Klopp's team host Wolverhampton Wanderers. City had a great chance to take all three points when a VAR review led referee Anthony Taylor to award a penalty for Craig Dawson's challenge on Gabriel Jesus.

Spurs climbed above North London rivals Arsenal into fourth on 68 points from 37 games -- the Gunners are on 66 from 36 matches and can return to the top four if they win at Newcastle United on Monday.The game was decided by a controversial penalty just before the break when referee Kevin Friend reviewed a handball incident and ruled that the arm of Ashley Barnes had been in an"unnatural position" when the ball struck it.

Burnley's defeat left them back in the bottom three but the battle to avoid relegation also looks likely to be decided on the final day of the season.
