It actually makes sense to try a cheeky bid on Arsenal now. They are on equal points but with a game in hand.
Manchester City only temporarily stand at the first position by having better goal difference but Arsenal has good advantage with one more match in hand.
I think odds are great on Arsenal to win Premier League now, and they have good chance of doing that.
No guarantee that Arsenal will get three points from that match in their hands but having it is an advantage than don't have it. I believe the odds is related to that match for Arsenal too.
Manchester City is going to have bad days and I think Arsenal can get into good form period soon.
Man City is going to be busy with Champions League and FA Cup, while Arsenal can focus only on Premier League.
The journey of Manchester City in Champions League is important for Arsenal. Arsenal can easily sacrifice Europa League but Manchester City won't do it easily in Champions League. They really want to win it after many years with expensive costs for transfers, salary and other things. Pep really wants to win it too prove his ability and to beat all criticisms against him that he was luckily to win a few Champions League with Barcelona when they had a golden team.
Let's see what happens in next few rounds, but tomorrow we have Aston Villa vs Arsenal and Nottingham vs Man City.
It's important to see Arsenal reactions after a defeat by Manchester City. If they win Aston Villa, we will have better belief that they will be able to win the match in their hands too and make 3 points difference against Manchester City.
