In the end, as per Simon Jordan, the PL title may be decided on the 26th of April when Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad. I know by now you are wondering how so. Well, there is a huge chance Arsenal can match City’s results from now until then. If that’s the case, Arsenal losing to City will give Man City a chance to fight for the PL title in the homestretch.
On the other hand, if Arsenal beat Man City then, they would have given the perfect knock out out of the PL title race. “But the point is, I still think there is such a small margin. If they match each other’s results and get to that game [on April 26] and Man City beat Arsenal, I still think there is a possibility Arsenal can blink,” said Jordan on talkSPORT.
“Man City are in no rich vein of form. They aren’t the Man City of old. But they are still compelling. I still think it is a 50/50 run-in.” Anyway, Jordan, like many, still believes Arsenal could win the Premier League and believes it could be a beautiful story if they do so, saying, “If Arteta wins this Premier League, no one would have seen it; no one would have picked it when they got pipped to fourth spot by Spurs last season. No one would have picked them to go into the ascendancy like they have done.
“It is remarkable because if you look at the component parts of Arsenal, they do not have a squad on a pound-for-pound, player-by-player basis comparable to Manchester City.”
We may not have the expensive squad that Guardiola has, but we have a united and extremely talented team that has the belief that we can go all the way this season.
Personally I think we will be too far in front of City before the away game at the Ethad to make the result crucial to our title hopes!

A welcome optimistic take by SAM P.
Personally, I am a little less sure that we will be well clear of City by the time we play them. But everything is still to play for , for both teams and anything at all CAN happen.
IF we all knew for sure, then JA would have little to attact any of us.
Fortunately, NONE of us ever knows for sure, and in a way that comforts me,as it keeps discussion of interest and provides an outlet for our shared ADDICTION!
BTW, our mere top four chance conversation has seemed pointless for some time past already and that alone is a great achievement, IMO.
It’s going to be crucial to get maximum points on the board in March. The fixtures get tougher for the run-in, where City are usually as good as it gets in professional football, but they will drop pints too, so a good cushion going into April could see us through. Still got Jesus to come back as well, which will be a massive help.
Pound for pound we are not on par with the Citizens, that mighty assemble side is probably second to none in my opinion.
To add to that they have the best coach possible on paper, they can play some of the most beautiful game on the planet when they get going and that’s why they are the favorite in my opinion.
But our togetherness hunger and passion starting from the gaffer marshalling every inch of his dug out box to players and fans alike , this has been steadily building from the Camping arena in Preseason.
Pundits like Neville mistake our passion and interpret it as desperate
Maybe
If Newcastle and Crystal Palace can hold Man City off, I believe we’ll win EPL
I hope we just concentrate and take the games as they come. If we can win our winnable games and pray manc drop points, our match with them may be less crucial. Focus is the word. Let our team be focused.
