The three reasons why Arsenal should still hold Premier League title hope amid Man City worries
Arsenal has managed to stay at the top of the Premier League table despite four games without a win, but Manchester City's two games in hand means that the Gunners' position at the top is at risk. Although there is concern from Arsenal fans after their 4-1 defeat against City, the Gunners have already secured a place in next season's Champions League, which is an accomplishment in itself.
Arsenal has a young and hungry team that has exceeded expectations and has pushed Manchester City to their limit. While City remains the favorite for the title, there are three reasons why Arsenal should not give up their hopes for the Premier League title.
Firstly, fixture congestion is an advantage for Arsenal, as they have half the number of fixtures that City has. City must prepare for at least 10 fixtures, including a two-legged Champions League tie against Real Madrid and a game against relegation-threatened Everton, in the month of May alone. Arsenal has a possible six fixtures to play, which means that they will have more time to rest and recover between games.
Secondly, there is the Nottingham Forest omen. When City beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in February, it seemed like City was going to run away with the title. However, in their next game, they dropped points to Nottingham Forest and once again found themselves in second place. This proves that anything can happen in football, and City could drop points in their remaining games.
Thirdly, Real Madrid could play a huge role in the Premier League title race between Man City and Arsenal. In the 2021/22 season, Madrid and City met in the Champions League semi-finals, and they are set to face each other again this season. Arsenal will be hoping for a repeat of last season, where Madrid qualified for the final at the expense of City. This would mean that City's focus would shift to the Champions League, which could impact their Premier League campaign.
In conclusion, while City remains the favorite for the Premier League title, Arsenal should not give up their hopes just yet. Fixture congestion, the Nottingham Forest omen, and Real Madrid's involvement could all play a role in the final outcome of the season. With a young and determined team, Arsenal should continue to fight until the end and aim to secure their first Premier League title since 2004.
