There are elite teams pulling up to win the English Premier League title, none of them will want to relent, not when other oppositions have geared up their brilliant performance. You're underestimating Manchester City because they had a slight decline in performance this season? They're back and they're doing incredibly balance in matches. Manchester City will always come first when it comes to clubs that are favorite to lift the EPL crown title. Pep Guardiola won't hesitate to push his team forward because winning the EPL have been his for top priority this season.
Three elite teams, in orders, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, are competing for a first position to win Premier League title. Their differences are slim, only in goal difference and 1-point difference. Every team among these three elite teams can win the league title and we will have a big match between Manchester City and Arsenal.
It will be chances and risk for both teams. If this match ends with a draw, it will be a great chance for Liverpool to take over the first position but if any team win in this match will get a big advantage for the title race. A loser will fall behind the opponent and maybe behind Liverpool after this week.
