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

Manchester City's Jeremy Doku has sent a clear message to league leaders Arsenal, stating that the title race is heating up ahead of their upcoming showdown at the Etihad. Following City's convincing 3-0 win over Chelsea, Doku expressed his confidence in his team's chances, saying, 'I would be crazy if I didn't believe. I believe the race is on.' With City now six points behind Arsenal and having a game in hand, Doku emphasized the importance of their upcoming match, adding, '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.' Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola reflected on his team's recent successes, including their Carabao Cup win over Arsenal, and acknowledged that his side is no longer considered the underdog. Guardiola noted, 'In the Carabao Cup final, City were complete underdogs... Maybe now it's a bit different.' As City prepares to face Arsenal, Guardiola expressed his respect for the opposing team, saying, '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.'
