Most likely something like this will happen, but on the other hand the condition is still fifty-fifty actually because Arsenal are definitely feeling a heavy burden now so even though they are definitely the favorites this will not be easy.
In other conditions, Arsenal cannot lose momentum even though last week's results did not go well, but for this week there is no reason for them to be like that again because if things like last week happen again then this indirectly signals that they are surely let go of its position and something like this is not desirable of course.
I personally expect Arsenal to get the title this season. and we've seen how they've struggled so consistently since the season started. In fact, I personally still remember at the start of the season when Arsenal continued to get my winning streak and many people here once said that Arsenal were just lucky because they started the season earlier against teams that were not seeded. but then Arsenal proved that they really have been strong this season. and they also continue to top the standings to date and it will be very painful for Arsenal if at the end of the season they have to give up the title to another team. but yeah you're right it's still 50:50. anything can still happen. because even now Manchester City still has a wide chance to overtake Arsenal. the difference of 6 points is still not safe enough for Arsenal.
This is indeed quite worth waiting for especially this is their best opportunity for the 2 decades that have been running considering that in the previous few seasons they were even bad enough to compete in the top 4 and now the momentum and opportunity is there, it's just how they maintain this momentum.
On the other hand, it would be a shame if they eventually had to get out of the way just because of a few bad matches towards the end of the season, so the points still had to be maximized even though now they couldn't bring full points but for 1 point they had to continue to collect while hoping for Manchester City. tripped up with their busy schedule.
Their clash with Manchester City will be decisive. If they can win then they will be able to increase their chances of becoming champions, but if they lose it will be very difficult for them again. Now they must not waste points and must always end the match with 3 points for Arsenal. They only lost 1 match (apart from the meeting with Manchester City) so Manchester City will be able to shift them from the top of the standings so far they have maintained. And if that happens it will be very painful.
