The Premier League title race is coming towards its climax. With Arsenal set to travel to face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, this game could become a virtual title decider.
Arsenal are currently leading the Premier League table with 70 points, and Manchester City are behind them at 64 points.
So, if the Citizens beat the Gunners this Sunday, then the gap will be just three points. However, City have a game in hand, and if they win that, they could go level on points with Arsenal.
That is why this Sunday’s clash carries massive consequences for the Premier League title race. Ahead of the clash, both teams have suffered injury blows.
Manchester City will be without Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol. Also, the Gunners will be without Bukayo Saka for this crucial game.
However, Mikel Arteta has received a massive boost with Declan Rice confirming that he will be fit to feature in this crucial game.
Now, Arsenal’s recent form will be concerning for their fans. The Gunners lost their last Premier League game at home against Bournemouth.
Also, recently, they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton and lost the Carabao Cup final to their opponents on Sunday.
As a result, Mikel Arteta will be cautious as he cannot afford to lose to Manchester City, and even a draw will give a massive boost to his title hopes.
Now, Opta’s Supercomputer has already predicted who would become the champions of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
They are still predicting that the Gunners will end their Premier League title drought of over two decades this season.
As per the supercomputer, Arsenal have a 85.66% chance of finishing at the top of the table. And Manchester City have 84.97% chance of finishing in second place.
So, all eyes will be on the Etihad Stadium on Sunday as the result of this high-voltage clash could change their prediction as well.
