If for example Manchester City managed to beat Arsenal in the next Premier League match, would you still assume that Manchester City is not a title candidate team? To be honest, I can't ignore a team that is still consistent with good results and also, basically they still have a close points gap. Therefore, it does not seem right if you ignore Manchester City just to get a new winner and also, if Manchester City does not have a good performance, but the fact is that Manchester City can also still threaten Arsenal and Liverpool. Thus, how can you say Manchester City is not performing well because after all, if for exmple Manchester City is not performing well then Manchester City should be outside of the top four.
Theoretically, City has an advantage over Arsenal. apart from this match being held at the Etihad, in terms of depth the City team is more ideal for me personally than Arsenal. even though I'm a supporter of The Gunners, let's be realistic, in the match between these two teams, City is more profitable, superior and favourite. If City beat Arsenal in the next meeting, Pep Guardiola's squad has a high chance of retaining the league title this season. although in reality, there are still several teams that might hinder Man City from progressing smoothly to the top of the Premier League standings. however, City has a high probability of retaining the league title this season. so, City is a threat to Liverpool or Arsenal. because they have a chance to do that.
unfortunately for City, Jack Grealish and Ederason are likely to be absent when they play against Arsenal. however, Pep Guardiola has the same supporting players he can rely on instead.
However, if the opposite happens, Arsenal will be closer to the trophy this season. Mikel Arteta's squad just needs to be consistent in winning all their matches. thus, this season could belong to Arsenal. but if the match ends in a draw, and Liverpool wins the match. that means it will be an advantage for Jurgen Klopp's squad. well, this competition is still very exciting in its competition. what is certain is that the three teams mentioned in this thread both have a chance of winning the trophy this season. Let's just enjoy it, after all there are still 10 matches left until the end of this competition.
