Former Arsenal and Manchester City full-back Bacary Sagna has pointed out a crucial factor that could potentially cost Arsenal the Premier League title race to Manchester City. Sagna believes that Arsenal’s failure to secure victories in both of their games against mid-table Fulham could be a decisive factor in the title race.
Arsenal only managed to earn a single point from their two encounters with Fulham this season, while Manchester City convincingly defeated Fulham 5-1 at Craven Cottage. The upcoming reverse fixture between City and Fulham could potentially see City overtake Arsenal in the standings if they emerge victorious, as they currently hold a game in hand.
Speaking to Paddy Power, Sagna expressed his thoughts on Arsenal’s performance, stating that the losses against Fulham away and the drawn game at home could be the turning point in their title aspirations. He emphasized the importance of not dropping points in crucial games and highlighted the need for Arsenal to remain consistent in order to stay in contention for the title.
Sagna also emphasized the significance of Arsenal’s upcoming match against Manchester United, stating that claiming victory at Old Trafford is essential for their title ambitions. He acknowledged the strength of Arsenal’s squad and coaching staff, urging them to give their all and secure three points in every remaining game to stand a chance at clinching the title.
As the title race heats up, City will face Tottenham in their rescheduled game before hosting West Ham United on the final day of the season. On the other hand, Arsenal’s last game will be against Everton at home. The outcome of these crucial matches will ultimately determine the fate of the Premier League title, with both Arsenal and Manchester City vying for the prestigious trophy.
