The Gunners will face two tough games in a row, starting with a visit to bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday before taking on City in Manchester the following Sunday.
“The Premier League season for Arsenal depends on the next two games, against Tottenham and Man City. ufabet http://ufabet999.app They need four points, it’s as simple as that.
” If they get anything less than that then you start to worry because you have to play against a machine like Man City. “
I know there are 30-odd games left but I just can’t see how they make up the seven points.
I was very bullish last year saying Arsenal would definitely win the North London Derby but I’m not so sure this season – and it’s a game they can’t afford to lose in the title race.
If they draw at Spurs and lose to Man City the following week then they could be seven points behind and I think it’s over. ”
” I know there’s 30 games left but I don’t see how they’re going to catch up on seven points. “

“Last year I was very confident that Arsenal would win the north London derby but I’m not so confident this season and this is a game they can’t lose in the title race.”
