Doku Sounds Warning to Arsenal: 'Title Race is On'

Manchester City's Jeremy Doku has sent a strong message to league leaders Arsenal, stating that the title race is now officially underway ahead of their highly anticipated matchup at Etihad next weekend. This comes after City took advantage of Arsenal's loss to Bournemouth, securing a decisive 3-0 victory over Chelsea and narrowing the gap to six points with a game in hand. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, expressed his belief in City's chances, emphasizing that their destiny is now in their own hands. He warned Arsenal that City is prepared for their visit, saying, 'If we win, it's a big punch towards them. If we lose, it's in their hands and we have to wait for them to lose.' City manager Pep Guardiola also reflected on the team's recent successes, including their Carabao Cup win over Arsenal and a 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool in the FA Cup. Guardiola acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal but noted that City is growing and becoming more fresh, especially after being eliminated from the Champions League.
