Manchester City face Leeds United, Chelsea and Brighton in their remaining three games, all of which are not to be underestimated. However, as long as Manchester City keep winning all of them, they will definitely win the title. Pep Guardiola's men will undoubtedly give it their all, and they will not give up the chance to defend their title easily.
The championship fight is warmed up
It can be seen that both Arsenal and Manchester City show no signs of slowing down for the time being, and their title race will continue until the final round. Although Arsenal is temporarily ahead, Manchester City is in hot pursuit, and the two sides are evenly matched.
In the last three rounds, in addition to dealing with strong opponents such as Manchester United and Newcastle, Arsenal must also pay attention to maintaining stable performance; Manchester City, on the other hand, will have to sprint with all their might, aiming for a complete victory. A single weakness on either side could be overtaken by the opponent. The contest between the two sides will continue until the final round, and the suspense will rise again.
Who wins the title will depend on how well both sides perform in the remaining rounds. If Arsenal can remain unbeaten, they will lift the trophy; If City can win all of them, they will be able to defend their title.
