It is clear that City big match against Arsenal is one of the title determining matches this season, both teams will try their best not to lose points in an important match like this. Liverpool will get luck from this match, with a difference of 1 point it is very difficult to say which of the three teams can win the trophy this season.
Arsenal's mentality will definitely increase after defeating Liverpool in the Premier League and when defeating Porto in the Champions League, so that their motivation to survive at the top of the standings is getting bigger to defeat Man City. The problem is Man City is not a weak club and is very difficult to beat them with full strength at this time, even though at home Arsenal managed to have a thin score.
In fact, there are still several other important matches ahead, where the three clubs are very likely to lose points too. All the other teams will try their best to trouble the three title challengers, Man United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Chelsea will not let the end of the season be easy for those whose ambition is to win the trophy.
Arsenal seems to have learned from last season mistakes in hunting for the EPL trophy, they now seem capable of getting out of pressure, such as in the Champions League last 16 match against Porto. It is clear that Arsenal is now different from last season Arsenal, Arteta fleet cannot be underestimated anymore, they deserve respect from all the other contestants.
Losing the moment in the match that ends with defeat can actually make the chances of the three clubs coming out to be a slightly smaller champion. So that both Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City must perform optimally in the rest of the game they have to live before the season ends. Tottenham, Aston Villa and Man United are also struggling to secure the fourth position so that they will do everything possible.
If they learn from mistakes the previous season is good because it will make them learn to play more consistently, at this time Arsenal's chances are still quite large as champions but not much different as last season because the determination is in their consistency in playing.
