"Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has responded to Arsenal dropping points in the Premier League title race today with their 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa. Emi Buendia struck a stoppage time winner for Unai Emery's side as they dealt the Gunners only their second defeat of the entire season. Meanwhile, Man City responded with a 3-0 win at home to Sunderland later this afternoon, closing the gap to just two points."
"City have lost four league games already, and are conceding a surprisingly high number of goals seven more than league leaders Arsenal. And yet, Arsenal have not broken far away enough to feel comfortable, so the north Londoners will be worried if this City side still hasn't peaked. We've seen these two teams going for the title a few times in recent years, and City came out on top in both 2022/23 and 2023/24 owing to superb runs in the second half of both campaigns."
Arsenal lost 2-1 to Aston Villa after Emi Buendia scored a stoppage-time winner, marking only their second defeat of the season. Manchester City beat Sunderland 3-0 to reduce the gap to two points. Guardiola expects Arsenal to drop very few points and says City must win consistently through performance rather than luck. City have already lost four league games and conceded seven more goals than Arsenal. Arsenal have not established a comfortable lead, so they could be vulnerable if City improve. City overturned Arsenal in title races in 2022/23 and 2023/24 with strong second-half runs, creating concern among Arsenal supporters.
