The Battle for Premier League Supremacy: Arsenal vs Manchester City

The eighth day of the Premier League could mark a ‘before and after’ in the competition as Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool could become leaders and unseat Pep Guardiola’s seemingly unstoppable Manchester City if the Gunners manage, in a duel live at the Emirates Stadium, knock down the ‘citizen’. Without a doubt, the focus will be on an Arsenal-Manchester City that will close the day on Sunday – it will start at 5:30 p.m. at the Emirates – and from which the new leader of the Premier could emerge, in the event of a local victory, or on the contrary see the ‘sky blue’ continue to dominate the rest. It is an Arsenal-City, but it is also another Mikel Arteta-Pep Guardiola. The student can surpass the teacher and obtain that extra reward of being at the top of the classification. After a mixed day in the ‘Champions’, with victory for City (against Leipzig, 1-3) and defeat for Arsenal (against Lens, 2-1), the moment of truth has arrived. The last day of the Premier League saw Manchester City lose at Wolves’ home (2-1), in a duel with some bad luck for Guardiola’s team, with an own goal from Rúben Dias included, and a final goal from Hwang Hee. chan who broke the bank. A single shot on goal from Wolves and 3 points for them, against a City that was not at all good and suffered its first and only defeat. For its part, Arsenal has just won convincingly against Bournemouth (0-4) at the Vitality Stadium. Of course, two of the goals, those of Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz, came from the fatal spot. But they were two results that meant that, now, before this big clash, City has just one point more than Arsenal. However, first, Tottenham Hotspur will play this Saturday in the opening match of the day, at Luton’s home. Spurs are second in the table, with the same 17 points as Arsenal. So they depend on themselves to, at the very least, put the leaders to sleep and put pressure on the ‘gunners’ and ‘citizen’. Luton, who have only won one game and drawn another, have pressure on them and, despite playing at their modest Kenilworth Road with the fans on their side, they know that they are facing a high-speed train whose objective is none other than destroy everything. And, at home, they have accumulated two defeats and a draw in the last three Premier games. Faced with this scenario, favorable if they do their homework, is a Tottenham team that has just beaten Liverpool at home (2-1) and achieved a draw away from home against Arsenal (2-2) in a close London derby, and they were already to link four consecutive victories. Good moment for Angelos Postecoglou’s team that should be taken advantage of. And, precisely Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, despite that defeat against Spurs, is fourth with 16 points (one less than Arsenal and Tottenham and two less than City). The ‘reds’ visit Brighton on Sunday, sixth in the table with just one point less, in a complicated visit but one that, if they win and with caroms, could also help them rise to the top. Another interesting match of the day will be the one at the London Olympic Stadium, between West Ham and Newcastle. The ‘hammers’ are seventh, just above and with one more point than the ‘magpies’. So it will be a direct fight to follow the European train and not drop out of the privileged area. A situation, that of being on the verge of losing money in this Premier, that Manchester United and Chelsea are already experiencing, in tenth and eleventh position respectively and that, on this day, they will face Brentford (the ‘red devils’, at Old Trafford ) and Burnley, the ‘blues’, at home. –SCHEDULES FOR DAY 8 OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE. -Saturday 7.
