Triple Arsenal title boost hope remains as Man City face unlikely Premier League challenge

It is incredibly disheartening after watching one of the most dominant Arsenal performances to secure an important three points and leave only two games to go for your main rivals to ease, or rather, romp to victory immediately after. That’s exactly what Manchester City did against Wolves but Liverpool fans might say, ‘Get used to it!’

As the fourth and fifth goals went in at the Etihad Stadium the reality became glaringly clear and suddenly you look back on where points might have been accrued. Be it the injustice of Villa Park, whether the ball did indeed go out of play against Newcastle United and West Ham, or the flukiness of Chelsea’s two goals at Stamford Bridge and Jorginho’s gift against Tottenham.

Yet, when you realise Arsenal have taken 43 of a possible 48 points in 2024, you realise just how vast the challenge is to beat Pep Guardiola and his club. Taking the title race to the last day, which Arsenal will guarantee occurs should they beat Manchester United, would be a greater push for the league than they managed last year.

There remains reason for optimism in the final three matches that City have to play. First comes Fulham, which remains one of the arenas for the most disappointing Arsenal performance of the season.

Yet, the Cottagers still needed to come through on the day and Marco Silva’s side have managed to take five points off the Gunners this season. This giant-humbling of course gives reason to believe they could indeed complete another against City in just under a week’s time – that said it’s probably best not to look up how Fulham faired the last time the two met if you’d like to maintain that said optimism.

Then comes… Tottenham. Yes, Arsenal’s title hopes could rest on their bitter North London
