The Title Race - 2023/24

the presure cooker gasket will burst,and it may be there villa game next week but it will happen

I was hoping so too, until I saw Villa with a game on Thursday night. The time they meet, Arsenal would have had 4-days of rest, Villa with only 2 days of rest and injuries to some of their best players.

We won’t have a better game to go top of the PL than against Luton on Saturday. OK, maybe Sheffield United and Burnley would be better,. Liverpool and Arsenal both play on Sunday.

Tbf they should have been5 up and coasting today just poor finishing let them drop a couple of away points - but i think they would say a point at the swamp pre game wouldn't be disastrous

What word do you think they would have used to describe it?

Spurs will have a huge say in this title. It begs the question of how they will play against us should they know beating us could hand arsenal the title? Now that, I imagine would be an uncomfortable thought for them.

Fans may feel like that, but I'm not sure players or managers do ?

Going off Villa's game vs Brentford it is a bit of a tough call. I did expect Brighton to give them a bit more of a test.

i would honestly write previous results off with 7 games remaining, teams can turn around a bad performance in a week because of European places available or relegation

There’s no pressure on City here, there is on Liverpool and Arsenal. It’s last chance saloon for Klopp and his heavy metal football to claim a title and Arteta has never got over the line in the title race.City go about their business and keep winning both these teams will crack.

The Opta Supercomputer now make Manchester City the title favourites with a 40% chance of winning the trophy, despite being third.

Liverpool are next on 31% with Arsenal, the leaders, given a 29% chance.

Chance of winning the Premier League title, according to xG:

◎ Man City: 35%
◎ Arsenal: 33%
◎ Liverpool: 32%

City are favourites with the bookies now as well!

Not sure whether those predictions are encouraging or worrying ... basically, everyone makes us the favourites, but at the same time everyone says we probably *won't* win it (our chances are under 50%).
