Over the last decade, Manchester City has been a dominant team. The combination of Pep Guadiola’s brilliance and huge amounts of cash spent without any proper control by the league gave the Citizens six Premier League titles under the Spaniard, and four consecutive ones. After the convincing 2-0 victory by Liverpool, the Citizens are now 11 points away from the first place, and nine points from the second, occupied by the Gunners. Arsenal has become a force under the due of Edu and Mikel Arteta, but the duo is to be separated at the end of the season, as the Brazilian is leaving the club to take over Nottinhgam Forest’s empire. Maybe they will give Edu a parting gift in the form of a long awaited title, but it will be hard to catch Liverpool and their nine points advantage.Just to update all the ones saying Arteta out. The Big 6 vs Arsenal (Premier League)Man City. – 0 Wins in last 3 Games Spurs – 0 Wins in last 5 Games Liverpool. – 0 Wins in last 5 Games Chelsea – 0 Wins in last 6 Games Man United – 0 Wins in last… https://t.co/Cv8qNAvdao— Monty (@AFC_Monty_) November 11, 2024 On the other hand, the Gunners have already played against almost all of the so-called top-six teams and have performed excellent against them. While they lost valuable points against Bournemouth and Brihgton due to suspicious red cards, against City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea they kept a perfect record and they tend to do so against Manchester United today too. It sound almost unbelievable, but Arsenal is unbeaten by the top six clubs for a number of months (years) in the Premier League. Their longest run is against Chelsea (1199) and then Liverpool follows with 923 days, while today’s opponent hasn’t beaten the Gunners in 823 days. Tottenham (612) and City (588 days) follow in this remarkable streak.Alphabet is trivial? Look at Premier League table!Out of all these clubs, Manchester United looks like the most vulnerable and the easiest one to beat, at least on paper. The Gunners beat Tottenham while drawing with all other clubs this season, but United game is also winnable. The Red Devils did manage back to back victories in Evropa League and in England, but Ruben Amorim’s team is still far away from a real and consistent form. With today’s win over Manchester, Mikel Arteta’s men can finally put together three consecutive league wins for the first time this season and they will have almost full squad to do so.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 14TuesdayIpswich – Crystal Palace 0-1 (0-0)/Mateta 59/Leicester – West Ham 3-1 (1-0)/Vardy 2, Khannous 61,Daka 90 – Fullkrug 90+3/Wednesday22:30: (2.20) Everton (3.50) Wolverhampton (3.50)22:30: (1.40) Man.City (4.70) Nott.Forest (8.00)22:30: (5.00) Newcastle (3.70) Liverpool (1.80)22:30: (8.50) Southampton (5.50) Chelsea (1.33)23:15: (1.50) Arsenal (4.50) Man.Utd.
