I've heard say it has been a pivotal week in the title race, but I truly never saw it that way.
Yeah, it was a chance for Arsenal to extend their gap at the top with Manchester City away at Chelsea, but, honestly, even if Pep Guardiola’s team had lost, I would still have them down as favourites. The reason is simple: Arsenal don’t have a squad capable of winning the Premier League. That’s not meant to be harsh, or a criticism of individual players, it’s a basic fact of life.
They have a first XI that can match anyone, which is why they have a five-point lead at the top of the table. That could have been nine points had results gone the other way, but, even then, I would argue their squad isn’t strong enough to win it.
