With barely a month left in this year’s Premier League season, it is incredibly even at the top. Arsenal lead with 80 points after 35 rounds, but Manchester City are chasing right behind with 79 points and a game less played. In theory, Liverpool can also win the league, as they are third with 75 points.
The team has spoken to Arsenal Sweden’s chairman Malin Hägg, who believes that the London side have a decent chance of winning the league but must take all the points that go, as City have all the capacity to go clean.
– Every match is like a cup final, says Malin Hägg.
She also points out that City have a wider squad, which gives them an advantage. The most important thing for Arsenal right now is the psyche, according to Malin Hägg. Arsenal’s last two matches have been London derbies, and the red and whites have won both. Last night Arsenal won against Tottenham 2-3, and the game before that they beat Chelsea 5-0. This has been very important for the team’s confidence before the final sprint, according to Malin Hägg. Now it’s up to Arsenal to stay focused in the last three games, after a spring with a very intense schedule.
– There are a lot of tired heads right now, she says.
