I think with Arsenal going 8 points clear at the top of the league table will increase the pressure on Manchester City to want to get a must win in their next premier league game. Manchester City are currently distracted with the champions league, they will be facing Dortmund in the UCL soon and I think Pep will prioritize winning the UCL over the epl because the champions league trophy has eluded him for so many years at Manchester City. He would not want to lose this chance. This gives Arsenal the advantage in the race for the trophy, Manchester city is not a team to underestimate so Arsenal will have to be at their best performances to win the title.
