Arsenal has the best statistics, but statistics alone are not enough to become champions. Arteta has focused on the Premier League this season, it is obvious that he would like to achieve such a cherished goal this time with Arsenal, but now everything depends on City, they have one more game in hand. I can say that Arsenal deserved to become champions, but the same goes for City.
Arteta and the whole Arsenal squad including the managements and fans were very serious about the Premier League title towards this end of the season. The lose against Aston Villa is the main cause of this debate of who should win within Arsenal and Manchester City, because with this performance and serious Arsenal have this season, going without a single trophy will be painful because they spent a lot to build the team and are in the right position to compete for the title. If Manchester City win all their remaining matches, there is no more hope for Arsenal.
Arsenal is the cause of what they are passing through now because they had several occasions that they were topping the league table but before you know it they will just lose match without knowing that they have a target, if am not making mistakes Arsenal have had opportunity of topping the table 3 consecutive times but what could they do? Lose the position to either Liverpool or Manchester city so at this stage of the league now it will really be difficult for Manchester City to lose a match because since they were eliminated from the champions league by Real Madrid, they will take this premiership too personal such that they will never want to give Arsenal any chance again and since they are left with 3 to 4 matches before the season ends even makes it more difficult for Arsenal and moreover, Arsenal have a very difficult match which is against Manchester united because regardless of the fact that Manchester United is not in good form but I don't think they can easily allow Arsenal to win them at old Trafford. Had it been Arsenal utilized their chances very well they wouldn't have been having this difficulty now and the lost against Aston Villa was the worst of it all because it was literally a time when they needed the winning the most but instead they lost woefully.
