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 on' ahead of their upcoming match at the Etihad. Following City's 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.' City's victory came after Arsenal's surprising home defeat to Bournemouth, allowing City to close the gap at the top of the table to six points with a game in hand. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, emphasized the importance of the upcoming match, 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.' Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola reflected on his team's recent successes, including their Carabao Cup win over Arsenal, and acknowledged the respect he has for the Gunners, 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 destiny now in their own hands, Doku and Guardiola are focused on preparing for the crucial match against Arsenal.
