Manchester City are at the edge of lifting the league trophy after Arsenal lost to Brighton today, now a win in their next game to Brighton will put the trophy in their hands for the third time in a role. Arsenal fans will be so disappointed with the results of today’s game. The Premier league is finally over, this loss to Brighton just gave Manchester City a clear part to league victory. What can I say Arsenal always find a way to disappoint their fans.
Arsenal played so far 36 games while City played 35 and they are in the first place with 4 points gap.
Basically Arsenal have to win the other two games vs Nottingham and Wolves. Could that be guaranteed? I doubt. At the same time, they have to see City losing all their 3 games vs Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford. That's quite impossible. Manchester City will be declared champions by Monday 21, at the end of Chelsea match.
Arsenal winning there 2 remaining games isn't going to make any difference now. Its 4points difference between them @Manchester City @Arsenal and a chance for Manchester City to easily push that point gap to 7points. So, should Manchester City even get to lose the rest of there games afterwards, they'll still have a point that keeps them at the top till the league ends. The EPL title is decided already, Arsenal made that decision in there series of draws/loses and its a big lose for Arsenal's plan A. At least, they've got to settle for a plan B where they get to qualify for the UCL next season. Pep could chill now while setting his eyes on the one title that matters now, the UCL.
It's all in Man City's hands now because whatever Arsenal does will not be able to change the situation. I think it shouldn't be too hard for Man City to get 1 win from their remaining 3 matches because their performance is very consistent and that is most essential they have a winning mentality (the one thing that Arsenal doesn't have).
I can see that Arsenal still has stage fright. I think Man City's victory over Everton has put Arsenal under very high pressure. So instead of getting the win, they even played badly at home.
