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 clash at the Etihad. Following City's 3-0 win over Chelsea, Doku expressed his belief 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 off the top and having a game in hand, Doku warned Arsenal that they will be ready for the challenge. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola reflected on the lack of faith in City's chances before the Carabao Cup final, where they defeated Arsenal 2-0, and acknowledged that the dynamics have changed since then.

Guardiola expressed his respect for Arsenal, calling them the best team in the country and Europe so far, but emphasized that City are growing and will be well-prepared for the upcoming match.
