Doku Sounds Warning to Arsenal: 'The Title Race Has Begun'

Manchester City's Jeremy Doku has issued a warning to Premier League leaders Arsenal, stating that the title race is now underway ahead of their highly anticipated match at the Etihad next weekend. Following City's convincing 3-0 victory over Chelsea, Doku expressed his confidence in his team's chances, emphasizing that their destiny is now in their own hands. With City moving six points behind Arsenal and having a game in hand, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, believes that a win against the Gunners would be a significant blow to their title aspirations. Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola reflected on the lack of faith in his team's chances prior to the Carabao Cup final, where they ultimately defeated Arsenal 2-0. Guardiola acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal's quality and competitiveness, but emphasized that his team is growing in strength and freshness, having been eliminated from the Champions League.
