I believe Man City will be able to defend the championship trophy. Arsenal should only blame themselves because they continue to make the same mistakes as last season.
Arsenal skipped pass Tottenham who were predicted to be a problem for the team in top three as they all fight to finish well this season. Manchester City will face the same conditions as Arsenal did, playing the game at Tottenham's stadium. Tottenham press very well, and if Manchester City are not careful, they can make things difficult for them at this crucial point in the season. It remains a fierce battle, Arsenal lost one game this year and it looked like it ruined their chances already, it shows that this season in the league is very competitive.
Yes, Arsenal experienced heart-stopping moments at the end of the match on Tottenham's field. The biggest challenge for Man City will be the away trip to Tottenham's stadium. Ange Postecoglou's team is still racing for a place in the top four and will compete without mercy. In addition, Man City has a poor record on Spurs' field. But with their current strength, they will easily overcome this match.
As for Arsenal, they still have a difficult match. I think this opponent will be more challenging to play than Tottenham, even though they are ranked below Tottenham. The Gunners will have to face Man United away from home. Although Erik ten Hag's team has played poorly this season, on a good day, they can completely ruin Arsenal's championship dream. It's just like how Man United destroyed Liverpool. Man United is now officially out of chances to reach the top 4 but is still fighting to win a place in next season's European Cup. Of course, Arsenal is still slightly better than the odds.
