Another decisive weekend is upon us as far as the PL title race is concerned. Last week, Manchester City asked Arsenal two questions: one was if Arsenal could win after City won their game, and the other was if Arsenal could also dismantle Liverpool this week. Arsenal already answered their first question by beating Leeds 4-1.
This weekend, they may answer the question of whether they can also beat Liverpool. But before the Gunners took to the field on Sunday, Manchester City will have played Southampton and, if they win, then again Arsenal will have to answer another question: ‘Can you also win this weekend?’.
Pep Guardiola knows with a single error his side could gift Arsenal the Premier League title they are trying to defend. He openly said so in his press conference on Friday. “If we drop points, Arsenal will be champions,” Guardiola said in his press conference. “If we win, maybe we will be champions by the last game of the season. We’ll see whats going to happen.”
🗣️ “If we drop points, Arsenal will be champions.”

Listening to Pep speak about Arsenal should give every Gooner the confidence that they are on the right path and Manchester City are feeling the pressure. However, this shouldn’t get into Gooners’ heads. Arsenal are getting a win this weekend at Anfield, and even Arteta is confident, as he said on Friday’s press conference, “Something we have done in the last two or three years is to win in places that the team didn’t do for many years.”

Anyway, after this weekend’s results, Arteta and his boys still have eight finals to play to bring the PL crown to the Emirates.

When Man City trashed Liverpool, they played with Stones in the DM position
It’d be very difficult to take the title from a rich team with such revolutionary manager, but Arsenal could study how Man City defeated Liverpool and apply it at Anfield
Once the season is over, we must weaken Man City further by getting one or two of their promising players. Cole Palmer seems ideal to become Saka’s main competitor
Not necessarily from Man city, but Barcelona there is a kid by the name Pedri that is going run midfield in many years to come, no doubt the gaffer knows the young Spaniard.
Pedri would be a great signing, but he is one of Barcelona’s main players
With Tierney as ref we will be playing against twelve men, how that fool is in charge is a joke, remember how Webb had to apologise after the game when he ruled out Martinelli’s goal for a foul in the build-up, the man is an idiot, we need to be at our best
It’s sheer mind games by Pep Guardiola, he’s telling us nothing new.
But if Arsenal repeat the performance like in the year of the Hillsborough disaster, when Arsenal went to Anfield with all odds against them, the pressure on Pep would be ten folds.
What i have come to realise is that pep Guardiola seems to really want Arsenal to win this seasons premier League,the way he talks always seems he wants to demoralise his players to give advantage to Arsenal.
The exact opposite is what he’s doing. Trying to transfer all the pressure to arsenal cos that’s the only thing that can hamper the young arsenal squad and give city a chance at the league
Naftall its sheer mind games, what he wants is for Arsenal to relax and take their foot off the gas.
Pep Guardiola will be telling his players behind the scenes , that every game is a final to the end, he has an undying hunger
