Asernal is closer to the title more than Manchester city tgis season, even though man city is tge current title holder but the possibility of retaining that title is near impossible at this time and that is why we can project directly to Asernal taking over the title from them.
I consider the gap to the manchester city is quite big to be chased with only around 11 matches remaining for manchester city. Arsenal will be facing leeds united which can be considered as easy team while at the same time manchester city must have faced liverpool which is a strong opponent even though liverpool's performance is not as good as last season but liverpool is still worthy enough to be considered as a strong team in EPL. Arsenal may have some easy matches but it will be facing hardest matches at the end of season.
Arsenal has not yet faced city and this can also become the key point for manchester city to change the situation in EPL. Most people are believing arsenal already lead the competition and EPL trophy can be given to the arsenal while the truth is as long as there would always be remaining matches and manchester city is still having chance to take it.
City must have divided its focus into the some matches. The problem is haaland already speculated to be injured due to the international break.
city will be so bad to play without haaland as the main striker for city. Grealish is not as good as haaland.
