Doku Sounds Warning to Arsenal: Title Race Intensifies Ahead of Etihad Showdown

Manchester City's Jeremy Doku has issued a warning to league leaders Arsenal, stating that the 'title race is on' following his side's emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea. With City now six points off the top and a game in hand, Doku believes his team's destiny is in their own hands ahead of the Gunners' visit to Manchester next weekend. 'I would be crazy if I didn't believe,' he said. 'I believe the race is on. We have a big game now, we're going to recover well and look forward to it.' City's win came after Arsenal's surprise home defeat to Bournemouth, and manager Pep Guardiola admitted that his side are no longer underdogs. 'In the Carabao Cup final City were complete underdogs - there is not one person in this country that would bet £1 that we would be much better. Maybe now it's a bit different,' he said. With City having closed the gap at the top, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown between the two title contenders.
