Every game went all out, experienced a big victory, and the Premier League championship pattern changed subtly again.

Arsenal continues to fire with full firepower in this game and expands the goal difference advantage when it already has a goal difference advantage! If Liverpool and Arsenal finally qualify for the championship equally, Arsenal's goal difference will become an advantage!
Arsenal's other league opponent, Manchester City, is currently third in the league with 73 points from two games less! The situation in the Premier League title race has also become delicate! Manchester City's six league opponents in the last six games are: Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United! Manchester City will win the league title 100 per cent! Of course, any draw or defeat is very likely to bury a season's efforts. Manchester City is very stable and firmly holds the initiative in the title race, and in the face of Arsenal's extreme pressure, Manchester City cannot be taken lightly.
