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 the Etihad next weekend. This comes after City's convincing 3-0 victory over Chelsea, which moved them six points behind Arsenal 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. 'I have to believe, I think the race is on,' he said, adding that the team is focused on recovering well and looking forward to the upcoming game. City's manager, Pep Guardiola, also shared his thoughts, recalling how his team was underestimated ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal last month. Since then, City has gone on to secure the first silverware of the season, defeating Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup, and narrowing the gap at the top of the league following Arsenal's recent slip-up. Guardiola acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal, recognizing their quality and competitiveness, but expressed confidence in his team's growth and preparation for the challenge ahead.
