Although Arsenal managed to confirm their progression to the Champions League semi-finals this week, the mood in the Gunners' camp is still below freezing point. The reason for this is the loss at the Etihad Stadium, which stings even more due to the previous home league collapse against Bournemouth. At the moment, the situation in the Premier League is such that Arsenal and Manchester City will have the same number of points after Cityzens' deferred match, which Manchester will most likely manage without problems. Therefore, any further slip-up automatically equates to giving up all chances of winning the title. If both teams win all their remaining matches, the league title will be decided by goal difference. Let’s be honest, given the current form of both sides, Manchester City are, unfortunately, the clear favourites.

Premier League
- Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium since he submitted an improved performance compared to all of its performances after the international break, but it was still not enough. For me, the charges Mikel Arteta's Simply and plainly, scared. For a team that went into the match top of the league by six points and, above all, as a team hungry for the title, the performance was ultimately at best average. Arsenal has therefore handed over the reins for winning the title to Manchester and now can only pray, that the Cityzens players will drop points against someone at least once. At the same time, the footballers from the Emirates Stadium will have to win all five remaining matches, otherwise there is no point in even hoping.

Next week's programme
Arsenal will face during the thirty-fourth round of the Premier League at home against Newcastle. If Arsenal players are to maintain even a minimal hope of finishing ahead of Manchester City, they must not only win unconditionally but also score as many goals as possible in each match. In the current situation (assuming City win their rearranged game against Crystal Palace), goal difference will decide the title. This doesn't play much into the Gunners' hands, as they last scored more than two goals in a match in the North London derby at the end of February. But perhaps a miracle will still happen.
