Arsenal continues to falter in the Premier League title race & dropped 4 points in 2 rounds, while Manchester City, the king of slip-ups, lost 9 points in 4 rounds.

In this Premier League round, Manchester City suffered a 0-2 defeat to Manchester United, recording only one shot on target in the entire game. If it weren’t for the post and Donnarumma’s outstanding saves, City would have faced a catastrophe. Over the last 4 rounds, they have 3 draws and 1 loss without a victory; Arsenal drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest, marking back-to-back league stalemates.

This means that on the road to the Premier League title, Arsenal has already dropped 4 points in 2 rounds, continuing their pattern of faltering in the title race as in past seasons. But compared to Arsenal’s struggles, Manchester City has lost a staggering 9 points in 4 rounds, making them the ultimate slip-up kings in the Premier League title fight.

After 18 rounds in the Premier League, Arsenal had 42 points with Manchester City trailing closely at 40 points, just 2 points behind. Many fans said City’s second half of the season chase was terrifying, and this season remains intense, but also full of dropped points. After 22 rounds, Arsenal earned 8 points in 4 rounds, while City managed only 3 points in the same period, turning Arsenal’s 2-point lead into a 7-point advantage. Aston Villa, currently third, hosted Everton this round. If they secure all 3 points, they will leapfrog City by 3 points to second place and narrow the gap to league leaders Arsenal.

Arsenal remains the same old story: easy to compete but prone to slip-ups in the title race. However, Guardiola’s Manchester City already hit a bottleneck last season. Originally a good time for a managerial change, City kept buying players, but Guardiola’s team has faced continuous “disasters.” This summer, they were knocked out of the Club World Cup knockout stage by a Saudi Pro League team, and now they were crushed by Manchester United in the derby. If City, who have fulfilled all of Guardiola’s transfer wishes, fail to deliver results, the problem lies with Guardiola. In summary, it’s not that Arsenal has grown stronger, but that City has weakened tactically, with Guardiola’s arrogance causing issues. The Blues should seriously consider a managerial change, and perhaps Enrique, who might not renew with PSG and wants to coach in the Premier League, is the best candidate. What is your opinion on this?
