Doku Claims Title Race Intensifies Ahead of Manchester Showdown with Arsenal

Following Manchester City's 3-0 win over Chelsea, Jeremy Doku stated that the title race is now officially underway, with City moving six points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, expressed his confidence in City's chances, saying, 'I would be crazy if I didn't believe. I believe the race is on.' City's victory came after Arsenal's surprise home loss to Bournemouth, and Doku acknowledged the unpredictability of the Premier League. He warned Arsenal that City is ready for their upcoming match, saying, 'They will come with hunger. They don't want to just give it to us, so we have to go and take it.' Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola reflected on the lack of faith in City's chances before the Carabao Cup final, where they defeated Arsenal 2-0. Guardiola expressed his respect for Arsenal, stating, 'They have been the best team in this country, in Europe, so far. Beating Arsenal once is so difficult, imagine beating them twice in a few weeks.' With City's recent successes, including a 4-0 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup, Guardiola believes his team is growing and becoming more fresh, especially after being eliminated from the Champions League.
