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

Manchester City's Jeremy Doku has sent a strong message to league leaders Arsenal, stating that the 'title race is on' ahead of their highly anticipated showdown at the Etihad next weekend. Following City's convincing 3-0 win over Chelsea, Doku expressed his confidence in his team's chances, emphasizing that their destiny is now in their own hands. City's victory was a significant one, as it capitalized on Arsenal's surprising home loss to Bournemouth and moved them six points off the top with a game in hand. Doku, who scored his first goal since November, believes in City's ability to claim the title, saying, 'I would be crazy if I didn't believe. I believe the race is on.' He also warned Arsenal that City will be well-prepared for their upcoming match, stating, 'They will come with hunger. They don't want to just give it to us, so we have to go and take it.' Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola reflected on the recent Carabao Cup final, where his team was considered the underdog but ultimately emerged victorious. He acknowledged the respect he has for Arsenal and their impressive performance this season, but also highlighted City's growth and improved freshness since being eliminated from the Champions League. With the title race heating up, City is poised to give Arsenal a run for their money, and the upcoming match is expected to be a thrilling encounter.
