Manchester City are pursuing their fifth consecutive Premier League title, with Pep Guardiola’s team in a tight battle with Arsenal at the top of the table. The gap between the two clubs was just two points by the end of last season, following City’s Treble-winning campaign. Paul Merson, in a recent column for Sky Sports, believes Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures against Tottenham and City will be crucial for their title hopes, stating that they need to secure four points to stay in contention. With City and Liverpool being the only teams to win all three of their games so far, Arsenal’s two wins and one draw leave them two points behind the champions.
Guardiola’s side will be hoping for Arsenal to drop points in their upcoming matches, as Merson warns that falling behind by seven points after facing Spurs and City could make it difficult for the Gunners to catch up with the Blues. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has previously acknowledged the challenge of competing with City, emphasizing the need to win all Premier League games to have a shot at the title. While there is still a long season ahead, City will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table and hope that their rivals drop points to strengthen their position in the title race.
