Results > Process! Arteta has led Arsenal to 539 days at the top without a title, while Manchester City achieved 4 titles in 453 days.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Manchester City secured a 1-0 away win against Burnley. With identical points and goal difference, they overtook Arsenal to claim the top spot in the Premier League standings because of a higher number of goals. Having been 9 points behind 11 days earlier, Manchester City has now equaled Arsenal in points and ascended to the summit. Arsenal consistently collapses in the final stages of the Premier League title chase; three successive second-place finishes still haven't revitalized Arsenal under Arteta's leadership.

According to statistics, since Arteta became Arsenal's manager on December 22, 2019, Arsenal has spent 539 days at the top of the Premier League but remains without a title; meanwhile, Manchester City has been at the top for 453 days during the same period and has already won the Premier League championship four times.

Fans have been discussing this extensively:

• Winning in the early hours is just paper; winning in the late hours is real money.
• Without comparison, there's no harm; Arsenal has become the perennial runner-up.

Before Arteta took charge of Arsenal, the team was consistently fourth; isn't this progress? Arteta has indeed improved Arsenal, but his style and weakness are excessive conservatism and lack of rotation. Arsenal's offensive play has been chaotic, and "crowding like a subway at the goal" has become a notable scene in this Premier League season. If Arsenal fails to secure the Premier League title this season, Arteta really needs to reflect on how to enhance Arsenal's attack. If he feels powerless, then Arsenal should consider changing the manager.

The chart above shows the number of days each team has led the Premier League this season; Arsenal is far ahead, but now competing with Manchester City for the title is a fifty-fifty situation. Perhaps Manchester City's remaining five matches are more challenging, but Arsenal also has to focus on the Champions League semifinal against Atletico Madrid. Therefore, who will win this season's Premier League remains uncertain. However, in terms of morale and title-winning experience, Manchester City undoubtedly surpasses Arsenal.
