Arsenal have made a lot of improvements since last season. There is no doubt that they will be one of the top contenders for the English Premier League title this year. Arsenal will be very difficult to beat by any other team in the league. As of right now, Arsenal are clearly in the lead and Manchester City sit second in the table. Between these two teams, there is a difference of five points between them.

They are stronger mentally that helps them to face with pressure and maintain their position at top of table. Even they won't be able to win Premier League, I really believe that they will not end out of top four like the past season. Arsenal in this season is very different than in the past one. And they are very united that helps their whole team to look at a same target which gives them more strength to achieve it.

I think Arsenal are on track to hold that lead for quite some time. This season Manchester City are very much interested in the Champions League title. So, if Arsenal can continue to perform well in the coming matches, they might be able to beat Manchester City and be crowned champions of the English Premier League.

Manchester City are more interested in Champions League but they don't sacrifice Premier League. If they can not win Premier League, it can be because another competitor have too good performance in this season to beat Manchester City.
Usually even if Manchester City lose concentration for Premier League, they are still too strong there and can win it. It's kind of an easy task for Manchester City and they can have very big difference with latest club on the table. However, in this season, if they are not careful, Arsenal will take the trophy from them.

I totally agree with you on this point. It is important to note that, although Manchester City are aiming to win the Champions League title this season, if somehow they fail to achieve that, it will be very problematic for them since that is their main objective this season. There is no doubt that the Champions League is one of the most difficult competitions to achieve. As a result, it is possible that they could somehow lose the game.

As a result, if they do not win their Champions League title, they will have to compete for the English Premier League championship instead. And I feel like even if they end up failing to win the Champions League, the English Premier League title is going to work as a cover for the coach to say that he did his job.
