English Premier League 2022/23 : Man City and Arsenal set for a spicy meeting at the Emirates

The North-Londoners dropped 2 points against Brentford at home to help City shrink a 5-point gap!

English Premier League 2022/23 is at its most anticipated stage and things are about to get spicier than ever. Arsenal who have been on top of the standings since last year have thrown away their 8-point lead after yet another winless game in a row.

Last night at the Emirates Stadium, Brentford and Arsenal locked horns for a London derby. It was an important game for the gunners and a win could have taken them 11 points ahead of 2nd placed Manchester City. But Mikel Arteta’s men played out a frustrating 1-1 draw with goals from Leandro Trossard and Ivan Toney.

In short, the table toppers only collected a point in their last 2 games and they must thank London rivals Tottenham Hotspur for stopping Manchester City from winning otherwise their entire lead would have blown away. Talking of Man City, the sky blues were able to register a 3-1 win against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at home and a win in their next match will make them league leaders for the first time since last October.

Pep Guardiola and co. will have redemption on their minds as a lot has been developing against them off the pitch. They were charged with 100s of financial fair play breaches by the Premier League so the only thing that matters for them is to win the League for the 8th time in their history and record 3rd time in a row.

Everything you need to know about English Premier League’s allegations on Manchester City!

They are in a transitional period with Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez up front and their defense after a decent start has looked leaky and immature at times. And Arsenal on the other hand will have to be prepared more than ever if they are to win the PL this season.

The remaining 3 months of the season will decide everything and Arsenal would want to get back to winning ways as mistakes now could throw them off their title charge.
