EPL Table: 2018 Week 36 Standings After Sunday's Premier League Scores

Manchester City are on the verge of history after easing to a 4-1 victory at West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.

With three games to play in the 2017-18 season, manager Pep Guardiola's title-winning side are just three points away from eclipsing the record tally for a single campaign, and they need just two more goals to become the most prolific side ever.

In Sunday's second clash, Manchester United hosted Arsenal for Arsene Wenger's final visit to Old Trafford as Gunners manager, and the Red Devils prevailed 2-1 thanks to Marouane Fellaini's stoppage-time goal.

Here are the latest standings following City and United's victories:

Since City lost to United on April 7 to delay their coronation as champions, they have won three Premier League games on the bounce by a combined score of 12-2.

On the back of a 5-0 demolition of Swansea City last time out, they travelled to the London Stadium to take on the relegation-threatened Hammers and were ahead after 13 minutes through Leroy Sane.

Former City defender Pablo Zabaleta then turned into his own net for the Sky Blues' 100th goal of the season before Aaron Cresswell netted a free-kick in the 42nd minute to give West Ham some hope.

It was quickly snuffed out again, as Gabriel Jesus re-established City's two-goal lead before Fernandinho made it 4-1 after 64 minutes.

Per Sky Sports Statto, Raheem Sterling produced a man-of-the-match performance to move City to within touching distance of two significant Premier League records, which they may break against Huddersfield Town on Sunday:

Old Trafford gave Wenger a warm welcome, and former rival Sir Alex Ferguson presented him with a gift, per ESPN's Mark Ogden:

There was not a great deal for the Frenchman to be happy about early on, as his side went 1-0 down to Paul Pogba's goal in the 16th minute, with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez playing key roles in a fine buildup.

However, Arsenal's much-changed young side—Wenger clearly had Thursday's UEFA Europa League clash against Atletico Madrid in mind—rallied well after going behind.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles looked particularly impressive, and former United playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan netted the equaliser with a low shot into the corner six minutes into the second half.

It was not a classic encounter, but it had a classic United finish, as Fellaini rose to net a clever back-header for the winner one minute into stoppage time.
