Arsenal waiting for miracle

On the current rankings, Arsenal still holds the top position with 80 points, 1 point more than Man City. However, Man City has played 1 less match. That is enough for experts to completely believe in Man City's ability to win the championship. Over the past 8 years, Man City has always been exceptionally persistent and steady in the key stages of the championship race.

Arsenal actually still have many advantages. They are ahead of Man City on points, have played one more game, but have a much better goal difference (+57 compared to +50). If Man City are held to a draw in the make-up match, Arsenal will officially be above their opponents.

However, Arsenal need to win all three remaining games of the season before expecting such a miracle. This weekend's Round of 36 is Arsenal's chance to put the pressure on their opponents, as they kick off a few hours early.

Hosting Bournemouth at home is clearly a fairly easy task for Arsenal, especially when the visitors have no motivation to play. Shortly after, Man City will host Wolverhampton - a team ranked just below Bournemouth and also without any significant targets.

But it was also Wolverhampton who defeated Man City in the first leg in September. "The Wolves" are one of the underdog teams that coach Pep Guardiola has been most afraid of since he led Man City. In the 2019-2020 season, Wolverhampton defeated Man City in both the first and second legs.

A week later, Man City will face Fulham, Tottenham and West Ham - three mid-tier London clubs. Arsenal fans have reason to fear that these teams will not play their best against Man City, as there is always a certain hostility between the London clubs. Especially when Tottenham is also gradually losing hope of reaching the top 4.

But the Premier League is known as the most attractive tournament on the planet thanks to its unpredictable factors. Just win all the remaining matches, and the miracle will come, "gunners"!
