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.
This is a very tight competition shown by the three teams at the top of the standings. Arsenal leads by only having a goal productivity advantage over Liverpool, while they are the same on points. Manchester City is in third place and they only have a difference of 1 point from both Liverpool and Arsenal. With a point distance like that, the position can really change in just one match.
Of course, all teams will not want to beat to give the title to their competitors just like that, they will try as hard as they can to ensure that they will be the champions this season. Nobody wants to fail this season, but the problem is when the competition becomes very tight and it is not easy for all teams.
There is still a meeting between Manchester City vs Arsenal, this will also be one of the matches that will be very decisive for them, winning will put them above the team that lost in this match. I think they will go all out in this match, because victory is something they must get.
