Yes, Manchester City feels a little more burdened by the several competitions they are still participating in. Starting from April, it will enter a busy period, Pep Guardiola is of course very dizzy with such a situation, he has to rack his brain to choose players and set targets for competitions which are the top priority. In the EPL, of course, their second meeting with Arsenal is the final or decisive match, if City succeeds in pounced. Arsenal, then the opportunity to win the title is increasingly open, but if you lose, then Guardiola will have to give up on Arsenal and switch his focus to the Champions League because of Man's big target. City is winning the most prestigious title in Europe's.
In Pep's case I think he's not really thinking about winning the EPL title that much but if Arsenal make any mistake he'll take that as an opportunity without looking back, so I think the Champions league is his biggest priority and he'll make a name in the history of CITY coaches to be the first to win the Champions league, I would want that to happen, so with all these distractions (injury worries and lack of fitness) coming here and there I can't say he's concentrating much in the league. His target is out there waiting for him and winning the EPL title won't bring him that joy compare to winning the Champions league.
Now Pep has to walk pass Liverpool which is not going to be that easy, injuries and lack of fitness is something he [Pep] won't welcome at the moment so he really need every one to be perfectly fine. If Liverpool beat City (which I think might happen) then Arsenal will use that as a motivation to go against Leeds and getting all 3pts.
