Arsenal remain in control of title race destiny

Despite the disappointment of losing the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City on Sunday, Arsenal remain the firm favourites to secure their first Premier League title in twenty-two years.

The Gunners currently hold a nine-point lead at the top of the table over Pep Guardiola’s side.

While City possess a game in hand against Crystal Palace, Mikel Arteta’s men only require sixteen more points to mathematically guarantee the championship.

The statistical shift towards a North London triumph is supported by a significantly superior goal difference.

Arteta now faces the challenge of lifting his squad during the international break to ensure they do not suffer a collective wobble.

Fans are already circling May 9th as a potential date to wrap up the trophy if results continue to go their way.
