The “Gunners” were seven points ahead of Manchester City, their runner-up 16 days from the end of the English football championship before the start of this day, and four after the Cityzens’ victory this Saturday against Wolves.
Certainly, Manchester City has already closed such a gap in the last line, in the past, but the challenge seems more difficult against Arsenal, “the best team in the world currently”, replied Pep Guardiola this Friday at a press conference.
In the league, “I hope we can get closer to them, improve and have a chance to catch up with them,” he said.
Manchester City receives bottom Wolverhampton on Saturday after losing their last two matches, against Manchester United in the Premier League then at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. The Skyblues have not won a match in the league in 2026 (3 draws, 1 defeat).
For its part, Arsenal therefore welcomes Manchester United who currently occupy 5th place in the standings with 15 points.
The match between Arsenal and Manchester United this Sunday January 25 will take place at 5:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on Canal +.
