Arsenal and Manchester City's point difference is quite small, only 8 points, so Manchester City should still have a chance to catch up and retake first place from Arsenal in the Premier League.
8pts is not what any team that's leading should just wake one morning and give it away without a fight. Even with how Arsenal has been so disappointing in the past I still believe that they won't let this chance slip away, they have come along way to just lose this golden opportunity to CITY.
Man City can only try to catch up with them but is not happening that the Gunners will lose this title and couple with the fact that the both teams will have to face each other it still doesn't change anything other than a draw or Arteta get all 3pts.
Manchester City have spent quite a lot of money to add players with above-average skills like Erling Haaland, and they have to win, so they don't seem to be wasting money for nothing. If Manchester City can't win in a Premier League match, it will disappoint a lot of people, including the coach.
CITY spent money on players but how many are regular starters? They have a bucket loads of newly signed players but I can bet you for free that is only Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji who are regular starters and the man they call Julián Álvarez, he's just like a switch OFF and ON on the Man City side, he hardly start and never has he been a regular starter, the rest are no where to be found.
So I don't see anything so special that would make Pep win the EPL this season and he knows that already. The only thing he [Pep] should think of is winning the Champions league, which I think it should be his number 1 priority.
