Doku Sounds the Alarm: Title Showdown with Arsenal Looms

Manchester City's Jeremy Doku has issued a warning to Premier League leaders Arsenal, stating that the 'title race is on' ahead of their highly anticipated matchup at the Etihad next weekend. This comes after City's impressive 3-0 victory over Chelsea, which saw them move six points behind Arsenal with a game in hand. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, expressed his confidence in City's chances, emphasizing that their destiny is now in their own hands. 'I have to believe,' he said. 'I think the race is on. We've got a big game coming up, and we're going to prepare well for it.' City's manager, Pep Guardiola, also weighed in on the upcoming showdown, acknowledging the significant challenge that Arsenal poses. 'They've been the best team in the country, in Europe, so far,' he noted. 'Beating them once is difficult, let alone twice in a short span. We need to rest and be prepared.' With City's recent victories, including a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final and a 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool in the FA Cup, the team is gaining momentum. As the title race heats up, Doku stressed that City will be ready for the challenge, saying, 'They'll come hungry, but we'll be well-prepared. We need to go out and take it.'
