Update
Good afternoon! You are welcome to the matchday 30 of the Premier League. At 5:30 p.m., Manchester City y Arsenal You see each other at the Etihad Stadium.
The ‘final rush’ in the fight for the title of this edition of the Premier League begins today, here and now. With 10 games left to finish the championship, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are involved in a three-way battle that has not been remembered in England since the Premier League kicked off in the 1992-93 season. On that occasion, Manchester United led the standings with the same points as Aston Villa and just one ahead of Norwich. Exactly the same situation that, 31 years later, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are experiencing. That season, the ‘red devils’ went ahead and ended up being crowned champions with a distance of 10 points over the ‘villains’ and 12 over ‘the canaries’. An abysmal difference that, with complete certainty, will not be repeated in this edition. At the moment, Arsenal are leading the standings… by overall goal difference over Liverpool! City, yes, is hot on their heels. Barely one point separates them from the ‘gunners’ and ‘reds’.
This afternoon, The Etihad Stadium will become the ring that will host the first and decisive fight between two of the boxers who aspire to lift the Premier belt: Manchester City and Arsenal. A confrontation that has been seen 53 times to date in the top flight of English football with a balance of 24 wins for the Gunners, 19 for the Cityzen and 10 draws. History smiles on Arteta’s men, but not the dynamics in recent times. And it is that, Of the last 13 times they have met in the Premier League, Manchester City has won 12. Arsenal, however, clings to the most recent confrontations. In August they won the Community Shield on penalties and last October, on matchday 8 of the Premier League, they defeated Pep’s team with a goal from Martinelli with less than five minutes left in the match.
The rivalry is maximum, not only on the pitch, but also on the benches. On this occasion, Pep and Mikel will star in the 12th edition of all the competitions of their particular ‘teacher-student’ duel. For now, Eight duels have fallen on Guardiola’s side and three on Arteta’s side. Till the date, They have never signed the tables… and the reality is that it is a result that today would not benefit anyone of the two, since it would leave the Premier title on a plate for Liverpool. A bare-chested fight that, from the precise moment it ends, will (almost certainly) rule out one of the two contenders in the fight for the title. Who will take it? Stay and join us to discover it!
