Arsenal’s Upcoming Fixtures Compared to Man City After Title Shift
The Premier League title race has experienced a significant twist, with Arsenal and Manchester City both dropping points recently. Arsenal faced Nottingham Forest, ending the match in a 0-0 stalemate. This came after Manchester City suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United earlier in the day. Arsenal had the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table but failed to capitalize.
In the match against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli squandered a critical chance in the first half. Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka also tested goalkeeper Matz Sels, but the Gunners could not find the back of the net. Defensively, Arsenal remained solid, with goalkeeper David Raya seeing only six shots at goal.
As a result of the draw, Arsenal sits at 50 points. Aston Villa now has a chance to cut that lead to four points if they secure a victory against Everton. Arsenal’s performance recently has consisted of thrilling 3-2 wins against Bournemouth and Chelsea, juxtaposed with the goalless draw against Liverpool.
