I heard Mikel Arteta talking in one of the interviews recently about how arsenal will keep going despite man city coming close in time of points, and truly I have faith in arsenal they have very fine players like saka and Gabriel Jesus are my favorite player,
Arteta and his Arsenal side are still sitting comfortably (5 points clear) on the summit of the table even though they drew against Newcastle and it allowed Manchester City to cut the gap a bit, but Arsenal still had a fantastic game and they only struggled to break Newcastle down because Eddie Howe set his team up for a draw, they didn't come for anything else, so they sat back all game long and got what they came for.
Having said that, City are slowly finding their rhythm, but Arsenal have nothing to fear/worry about, they just have to basically continue doing what they've been doing all season. It is going to be a pretty interesting EPL title race and Arsenal might end up Champions, who knows.
Arsenal are still a tough team with a 5 point lead for me that will be very close to Manchester City even though Pep Guardiola's squad will face a tough team but it is very likely they can win points plus Arsenal and Manchester City are currently still not meeting and they will compete in mid-February it is likely that it will be a crucial match and the points with a distance of 5 points will be different or change later.
Arteta still has a great soul in carrying Arsenal in the current season, it can be said that it is difficult to beat, it's just that with this fantastic game, Arteta and his team lasted half the season.
It is likely that Manchester City will be a closer competitor towards the end of the season.
