We can’t afford to overlook the fact that Arsenal have a Champions League game against Lens to win on Tuesday night. But who doubts we’ll win that game?
Following that game on Tuesday, as we’ve been saying all along, we have one of the most significant games of the season against Manchester City on Sunday.
Beating the Citizens is crucial; if we fail to accomplish that, we should be concerned about our chances of winning the title race.
The reigning champions suffered their first loss this weekend and their second in a row after losing to Newcastle in the Carabao days before, for which many of us are overjoyed.
Even so, Martin Odegaard does not want us to be carried away by the woes of Manchester City. While not wanting us to get carried away, our captain is urging his teammates to be focused and eager to keep the fire burning.
After hearing of Man City’s defeat, Odegaard said to Football.London: “We have to focus on ourselves. This league is so tough; you say that everyone can beat everyone, and you have to be sharp, ready for every game, and it is such a busy schedule now. So we have to focus on ourselves. Make sure we are ready for next week,” said Odegaard as per Football London.
“I think every game is a big game. So, first we are in the Champions League [vs. Lens], and we have to be ready for that one [vs. City], and then we’ll see after that, but every game for us, it’s a big game.”
What a time to face Manchester City, who appear vulnerable considering their past two results and the absence of Rodri, who is suspended, and Kevin De Bruyne, who is recovering from an injury. What will stop us from winning the league if we beat Manchester City next weekend?

Writer DO.
If any one can beat any one in the league then the question of presuming beating MC is equivalet to winning the EPL is a fantasy thought.
One game at a time and the captain said.
Lst year we beat all London clubs plus Man U and Pool bu still threw away points to teams like Everton and the league title was gone in a matter of about 4 games.
Leave this for the last 5 games yeah?
Wait, I mean 3, cos even 4 is a ceiling for us as last season shows…
So 3, yeah?
My man.
Thing is Guardiola always come up with something that will be too much for Arsenal. It seems as if he can read Arteta mind openly and with simple tactics he always come up winner. We try hard and then concede 3 or 4 goals cheaply. They have that mental superiority and know how and Arsenal gonna slip and Arsenal just try hard and hard and effortlessly ditched by city. If we are to get anything from this game we have to get this mental hurdling out of us .
