Doku Asserts Title Challenge as Manchester City Gains Ground on Arsenal

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. This comes after City's convincing 3-0 win 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, saying, 'I would be crazy if I didn't believe. I believe the race is on.' He also warned Arsenal that City is prepared for their showdown, noting that a win would be a significant blow to the Gunners' title aspirations. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola reflected on the recent Carabao Cup final, where City were considered underdogs but went on to beat Arsenal 2-0. He acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal but emphasized that City is growing stronger and more focused, particularly with their exit from the Champions League allowing for more rest and training.
