Doku Sounds Warning to Arsenal: 'Title Race Is On'

Following Manchester City's convincing 3-0 win over Chelsea, Jeremy Doku has sent a clear message to league leaders Arsenal, stating that the title race is now officially underway. This comes ahead of their highly anticipated showdown at the Etihad next weekend. City's victory, combined with Arsenal's unexpected home loss to Bournemouth, has closed the gap at the top to six points, with City having a game in hand. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, expressed his belief in City's title chances, emphasizing that their destiny is now in their own hands. He warned Arsenal that City is ready for the challenge, saying, 'I believe the race is on. We have a big game now, we're going to recover well and look forward to it.' City's manager, Pep Guardiola, also shared his thoughts, recalling how his team was once considered the underdog, especially before the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal, which City won 2-0. Guardiola acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal but is confident in his team's growth and preparation, especially now that they are out of the Champions League and can focus on the Premier League.
