If anyone is asked about the top two teams of current Premier League, his answer would surely be Chelsea, who is topping the table, and Manchester City, who has the maximum points comparing the number of matches played by other opponents. Even Chelsea manager understands this and that is why he has said on many occasions that their top position is just misleading as Manuel Pellegrini’s side has played three matches less than The Blues and just six points adrift of them. More interestingly, if we look at all the top four opponents, each of them looks to be getting more rejuvenated as we are getting closer to the current season. There are just two months remaining in this season and we do not have a sure shot winner which shows how exciting this year has been for English as well world fans who always admire this pleasure that lives until the last day of English topflight. Since, most Sportsbooks are counting on Chelsea vs City match as the biggest bets rolling match of the season and why not after all they are the biggest contenders to take the crown this year.
Arsenal manager, who himself is dreaming of ending their long running draught this time, also believes that match between two heavyweights would surely be the thrilling affair for soccer fans. Though, The Invincibles are just four points behind of Chelsea with one match in hand, still he somewhere finds it comfortable to remain among the top three by the end, however, he never said that openly! Apart from that he strongly believes they can only win the title this year if they could defeat both Chelsea and City in their upcoming games. What he told to his players about these games is, “There is a feeling that if we get through these games, it will strengthen the belief and determination of the team. That will be massive. If we get through well these next games, it will be a big part in it.
“It is the best title race I can remember. In terms of the number of teams still involved with nine games to go, eight for some, this is certainly the highest number I have seen competing for the Premier League. This league is so competitive that anyone can drop points anywhere. It’s a fact that every game is so demanding that as soon as you have a little bit less mental energy, you are in danger. I always said since my interviews in January that the most consistent team will win it in the end.”
