Man City's Jeremy Doku Says Title Race Is On Ahead of Arsenal Clash
Following Manchester City's convincing 3-0 win over Chelsea, Jeremy Doku has sent a warning to league leaders Arsenal, stating that the title race is now officially on. This comes after Arsenal's unexpected home defeat to Bournemouth, allowing City to close the gap to six points 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. He noted that the Premier League is unpredictable, citing Arsenal's loss as an example. City manager Pep Guardiola also shared his thoughts, recalling how his team was considered the underdog ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal last month. Since then, City has beaten Arsenal 2-0, thrashed Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup, and narrowed the gap at the top of the league. Guardiola acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal but is focused on the upcoming challenge, recognizing that beating them once is difficult, let alone twice in a short span.
