Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta at full time, Wembley Stadium, London, August 6, 2023. — Reuters picLONDON, March 28 — Arsenal were exposed as Premier League title pretenders when they were thrashed by Manchester City almost a year ago but Mikel Arteta’s side head to the north-west on Sunday as genuine contenders with momentum on their side.
With City on 63 points it is the first time since 2014 that one point separates the top three after 28 games.Liverpool, whose audacious quadruple bid was ended by an FA Cup defeat at Manchester United, can go top when they host Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday before City kick off. Defenders Kyle Walker and John Stones picked up injuries on England duty while key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne’s groin issue meant he was withdrawn from Belgium’s squad to face England.
“Arteta may look at his team and think they’ve developed and are better than they were last year so they can afford to play on the front foot,” Dixon told BetVictor. Juergen Klopp’s side then have another home game next Thursday against bottom club Sheffield United, a day after Arsenal host Luton Town and City welcome Aston Villa.
