Even though Manchester City is always possible to lose to any team in the League, this time they have to work harder to win every game. There is no easy victory for Manchester City because every team will fight to beat, this is done to stop the dominance that has been held by Manchester City for the last few seasons.
I admit that Manchester City will probably give up the Premier League title in the end if they have to drop more points in the next 18 games. Arsenal are superior because of the distance in points, they are safe even if they have to lose the next 2 matches "but I'm sure that won't happen to Arsenal in the near future".
At least, the opportunity is still wide open for Manchester City to defend its title for the third time in a row. what City needs now is to maintain consistency and win the remaining fights until the end of this season. the problem is, Pep Guardiola's squad is too haalandnis. I mean, relying too much on Haaland as a Target Man.
IMO, this is what the problem is. several players who were initially quite productive in the previous season, became too focused on serving Haaland. The fatal thing is, when Haaland is having trouble, Manchester City is in a stalemate and that has happened in several of his matches this season. in fact, City slipped and suffered three defeats from a total of 20 matches. I'm sure Pep is aware of that, and that's why at the moment Pep is trying several times to experiment and have Alvarez as a shadow striker behind Erling Haaland.
This situation is different from Arsenal, the Gunners players don't just rely on their center forwards. the other players were productive enough to score goals and this is one of the things that makes Arsenal even stronger.
