Both teams might aswell go head to head once again this coming season and luck might depart from City and tend to favor Arsenal because they struggled with competent efforts trying to achieve the title but City has always been a blockage to their success. Arteta is the ideal manager to bring the title home, Arsenal management knows perfectly and that is the reason they never raised a topic on changing him. With time and their level of consistency in good performance, Arsenal will win the title not too long from now as long they still retain Arteta as the coach then it is something promised to happen.
Retaining Arteta is key to Arsenals chance of winning the league title next season and even beyond but Manchester city will always be their problem until if for any reason Manchester city stuffers a set back or loose their form at any point but then Manchester city isn't even looking like a team that is going to be a victim of such in the nearest future so for Arsenal the struggle may just continue till probably luck finds them or they get an edge with which they are going to stay ahead of Manchester city at the time in the league in other to become champions.
Last seasons resilience shown by Arsenal was a top notch performance which I believe they could do better again because in the just concluded season, they appeared much better than they had appeared in the previous so they look like they obviously are experiencing a continues growth and improvement in their performance and they shouldn't at this point give up the chase, they could still put in some more effort and this may be their chances to their dream all this years after which I believe they will be set to winning more trophies. They haven't in a very long time won any league or trophy.
