Manchester City mananger Pep Guardiola has hinted that Arsenal threw away the Premier League title this season. City can lift their fifth title in six years this weekend if they pick up three points against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
Arsenal sit four points adrift of Guardiola's side, having played a game more than their title rivals, but have already secured Champions League football for next season. The Gunners had held the advantage in the race for the title until April after they dropped points against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton before losing 4-1 against City at the Eithad Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's side have still had a successful season after they missed out on a top four spot last term and will look to strengthen the squad this summer before challenging for the title once again in the 2023/24 campaign. Injuries to William Saliba, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko at a crucial period of the season hampered Arsenal's ability to consistently perform at a high level, with City having a much better squad depth as they chase a historic treble.
