The whole weekend went very well for Arsenal – it always helps when things go wrong at their nearest title rivals, as happened to Manchester City with Saturday’s Manchester derby defeat.
The defending champions were unlucky to have United equalize, which I think should have been ruled offside, and that goal changed the game completely.
However, I still don’t see City giving up their title without a fight and they’re not the only ones who could still challenge Arsenal from here. I understand why people are talking about Manchester United again because they are on a great streak of results at the moment and Erik ten Hag has made amazing progress with his team in a short space of time.
United cannot be ruled out at the moment as they head to the Emirates Stadium next Sunday. Win that one and you’d have to say they’re chasing, but on the other hand if Arsenal hand them over their title hopes will be gone for good.
