It is very clear that Manchester City has a very good chance to reinforce their success in winning the Premier League. Even though Arsenal are still in the lead, there is still plenty of time for them to overtake Arsenal. What's more, Arsenal can still be beaten by any existing team. Also these two teams still haven't met in this season. If Manchester City can beat them home and away, then they will be closer to actually overtaking Arsenal in the standings.
Yes, after all Manchester City is the team most ready to win a trophy this season and how Haalaand became a frightening specter for The Citizen's attack line. 5 points adrift of the Gunners, not a serious obstacle for them with the rest of the match schedule that is still long. after all, as you said. City have a game postponed against the Gunners. to narrow down each point, City could have beaten the Gunners either at home or away. yes, no one doubts City in the race for the Premier League Trophy this season. Likewise with the Champions League, City can be sure to have opponents that are not too tough. the reason is, RB Leipzig is not a candidate in this competition.
Even so, that does not mean the Gunners will not provide resistance for the trophy this season. even though Gabriel Jesus is injured, Arsenal have prepared several players to stay on track. I think after all, Arsenal still have a chance to win a trophy this season.
Arsenal is obviously able to provide some resistance. But I dont know if they will successfully be able to stay ahead of defending champions Manchester City. They are looking very sharp this season. But the sudden injury of Gabriel Jesus is almost certain to cause problems for them. And I am not 100% sure that they will actually be able to overcome this injury problem. They are obviously looking to bring in players in place of Gabriel Jesus. But will that player be able to provide enough goals for Arsenal?
Not saying that Gabriel Jesus did very well for Arsenal. He did not score well enough in my opinion anyway. So, I think it will actually be helpful for Arsenal if they bring in a capable striker who will be able to score a substantial amount of goals.
