Arsenal’s 2-2 draw at Anfield, which resulted in them dropping two points, has re-established Manchester City as the favourites to win the Premier League. Many will criticise me in the comments section, but that is the reality.
Man City may easily reclaim first place in the Premier League by defeating Arsenal on April 26th, winning their game in hand, and matching the Gunners’ results. Arsenal is in a ‘who blinks first’ title race, and they better wake up to where they are because Pep Guardiola and his team know that it is a position they have repeatedly dragged themselves out of.
“Being again in the quarterfinals in Europe is a moment to enjoy,” he told reporters, as quoted by the Evening Standard. “In September, October, November I enjoy less. When we arrive in the last stages, fighting for the title, I’m the happiest man in the world. I love to be here.
“What’s going to happen? I don’t know. [If we’re] going to win, everything is going to be perfect. If we lose, we will be a failure. Nothing is going to change. The day after, [there will be a] sunrise. We will try it again in the future.
“This is the mindset we will need to do. We have done it in the past, that’s why I’m incredibly happy with the players I have. The club we are. Everyone is pushing to be better and get better and better. That’s why we are here.”
Man City’s mantra is that they’ve done it before and that this is how they win, but Arsenal can change the script. It is not stated anywhere that inexperience can prevent a spirited team like Arsenal from being champions.
It’s wonderful that Manchester City has grabbed the favourite label; now Arsenal must prove their critics wrong and win the league as underdogs.
COYG!

Why all these hullallaboo about City being favourites after Arsenal 2-2 draw with Liverpool. I believe a full strength Arsenal can beat City at Etihad! City can also drop points as so as others. After all, they’ve dropped points before this season and they can as well drop more points as any of the remaining Clubs! So Arsenal has equal chance as city in winning the league. At least Arsenal is leading! Why is City not leading now if they are the best?
City have a game in hand ,plus the experience of finishing the race.
Next up is the hammers it is too soon to be thinking of the city game. London derby which is tough wait to see if we get through that unscathed before looking ahead
As much as hate to agree with the writer Pep Guardiola do relishes these square off.
Had Arsenal won at Anfield Pep would be a little nervous having watching him over the years.
But nothing should be discounted just yet, the gaffer has away to bounce back big time when the chips are down.
Buy City with Pep included left the same Anfield defeated and empty handed, compare that with Arsenal, One is better than the other.
