Manchester City are in an extremely strong position to secure their sixth Premier League title in seven seasons, having not been defeated in 27 matches. This impressive form has made them the clear favorites for the title. Jose Mourinho had previously ruled Arsenal out of the running back in January, so City’s dominance may not have come as a surprise to him. Following Arsenal’s defeat and a setback in their league hopes, manager Mikel Arteta issued a rallying cry to his team, emphasizing the need for resilience and determination.

He acknowledged the team’s strong performance in the first half of the match but also highlighted the loss of momentum in the second half, leading to the concession of two critical goals. Arteta expressed the belief that despite the recent defeat, Arsenal should not falter in their season’s ambitions. He emphasized the need for the team to display resilience and rise to the challenge of the competition, with a call for leaders within the squad to step up.
