Crazy Arsenal Or Complacent Man City: What Story Awaits The End Of The Season?

• With Manchester City dropping points at stages when they often aren’t expected to drop points, is it the point where the football world starts seeing Arsenal as true contenders?

• Will Arsenal invoke last season’s memories like everyone expects, to finish below Manchester City in the premier league table?

• What story awaits the English Premier League this season? These are the questions we look at judging from recent results from the league so far.

The Premier League has brought the world wild moments.

From the Aguero epic in 2012 to gift Man City the title, to Liverpool sitting on 25 points clear at the top of the league in 2020 just after 29 games played, and to Leicester winning the league in a season where Arsenal, Man City and the other top teams where present in the league, the English Premier League has sparked stories.

We have seen crazy title chasing seasons between Liverpool and Manchester City on two occasions, with Man City winning the Premier League on the last day of the season by a single point gap, twice.

This season, however sparks a different story, one where everyone but the Arsenal fans still tip Manchester City to win the league title, forgetting somewhere lies Manchester United also lurking in the shadow, ready to snap the minute any of them slips.

Still, the general consensus amongst pundits, commentators remains what has become a popular opinion; that Arsenal cannot hold the pressure.

They have cited the memory of the tail end of the 2021/2022 season that saw the Gunners fall dramatically in their bid for Champions League spot to back their points.

But ironically, the more pundits seem to doubt the ability of Arsenal to challenge Man City for the Premier League trophy, the more the Cityzens go all the way to prove the Gunners’ ambitions authentic and Mikel Arteta’s side as real contenders.

Twice in this season, Manchester City have had the chance of taking advantage of Arsenal’s blip at the top, twice they have come short of the mission.

The Pep Guardiola side failed woefully when Everton did them a favor by forcing Arsenal to one of their rarest loss of the season away at Goodison Park. They also did the same against Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s premier league fixture when they failed to build on their win against Arsenal that briefly moved them level on points and top on goal difference.

Arsenal on the other hand have seen themselves slumber, and very nearly could have lost another game in the fixture against former manager, Unai Emery at Villa Park, scrapping with a 4-2 win in the closing stages, thus prompting the question that needed to be asked; what story is set to unfold at the tail end of the premier league season?

Which side are we seeing in the title race this season? Is it the Arsenal the world has come to know from previous seasons; the underachievers and the banter club amongst the top 6 sides or the underdog who everyone has ignored but ultimately turned up to bite everyone in the face?

Most importantly, are we seeing the Champions that we used to know of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side or a complacent side with over-inflated ego whose downfall would ultimately be its writing off of the Premier League teams as a real challenge this season?

Whatever it is, EKO HOT BLOG would be online to weigh in and give account of the story, however it unfolds.
