The gap between Arsenal and Manchester City on paper might be considerable, but in the Premier League, it is presently one point in favour of the Gunners. How long it will stay that way remains to be seen, but it is very enjoyable sitting atop the pile.
The main difference between the two sides beyond the enviable Erling Haaland is the quality of depth. Arsenal have suffered from losing the likes of Thomas Partey, and Albert Sambi Lokonga’s deputising coincided with the club’s only loss of the season.
The Gunners simply lack what City muster in regard to that. However, there is hope that the club have enough financial flexibility to address it.
