"Tijjani Reijnders has warned Arsenal that Manchester City are "on the hunt" in the Premier League title race, having gained ground on their rivals in recent weeks. City trail the Gunners by four points at the summit, having registered back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Fulham. Mikel Arteta's team have shown signs of nerves, with Thursday's 1-1 draw with Brentford representing the fourth time they have dropped points in their last six matches (three draws, one defeat)."
"The Opta supercomputer currently assigns Arsenal an 85.3% chance of winning the title, with City's hopes estimated at 12.8%. But as recently as February 7, when Arsenal thumped Sunderland 3-0 to go nine points clear, the predictive model gave the Gunners a 93.6% chance, compared to City's 4.6%. The Gunners' probability will surely fall if they fail to beat bottom club Wolves on Wednesday, with a North London derby at Tottenham up next for them on Sunday."
"Reijnders has scored five goals and provided two assists in the Premier League, while his 294 completed passes into the final third are the sixth-most in City's squad this term. Asked how he has found his first campaign in England, the Dutchman said: "Luckily I've played many games already and the coach gave me time to adapt as well, but I really like it. "I like the Premier League and especially I like the team where I'm playing now.""
Manchester City have closed the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League title race, trailing by four points after consecutive wins over Liverpool and Fulham. Arsenal have dropped points four times in their last six matches, including a 1-1 draw with Brentford. Opta's model now gives Arsenal an 85.3% title probability and City 12.8%, down from 93.6% and 4.6% respectively on February 7. Arsenal face Wolves, Tottenham and a trip to Manchester City in upcoming fixtures. Tijjani Reijnders said City are "on the hunt". Reijnders joined from AC Milan for an initial £46.3m, has five league goals, two assists and high creative pass numbers.
