Arsenal won 4 - 1 from Newcastle. This really made a very satisfying result for Arsenal, which is really struggling to take over their top position. However, the current conditions do not seem to be able to be met because after all Man City and Liverpool are still the two clubs that are most important to them in the Premier League.

Arsenal really seem to be enjoying themselves recently with a series of confident wins. They scored 20 goals in the last 5 Premier League games, giving an amazing 4 goals per game average. This also includes their precious win against Liverpool.
There's a chance they could attack the 2nd place in the next round, as Man City is playing Man United. Even though City is a big favourite, with experts giving them 75% chance of winning and only 10% to United) derby games are always unpredictable and anything can happen.
Arsenal will be playing an away game against Sheffield, who are at the very bottom of the table. Arsenal's chances of getting 3 points are estimated at 83%.
Yeah, this will be a very important match for Man City. Because if they lose or only draw against Man United, while Arsenal wins, then second place will immediately be taken over. This is of course a problem for Man City, which in fact is currently chasing Liverpool in first place.
However, I am sure that Man City can win against Man United. Especially if we look at the results of their last match yesterday, where the combination of Haaland and de Bruyne was very deadly, hopefully they can really work really well in the EPL against Man United. It won't be as easy as it was against Luton Town yesterday, but Man City certainly won't waste this opportunity, right?
