The race for the title of Premier League champion is more than ever launched across the Channel. After 25 days of the championship, Liverpool sits at the top of the ranking with seven points ahead of his Dauphin Arsenal. The Londoners do not have their destiny in their hands and must hope for a miscaption of the Reds in order to be able to get ahead of them.
However, the Mersey club faces a slightly more difficult calendar than its competitor for the rest of February. They have two consecutive trips to the lawns of Aston Villa on Wednesday and Manchester City on Sunday, followed by the reception of Newcastle in Anfield, three days later. The Gunners, on the other hand, will welcome West Ham on Saturday and go to Nottingham Forest on February 26.
“Arsenal must make a perfect series”
For Arsène Wenger, former Arsenal coach (1996-2018), the chances of success of Mikel Arteta's men are lean. However, there remains one of the first fans of the double vice-champions of England in title and hoped for nothing but national success, eleven years after the last title gleaned by the club under his orders.
“Twenty-five games have already been played this season, and Liverpool has lost one. They must therefore lose at least three in the next thirteen days. At the moment T, it seems unlikely, unless they completely collapse. But there is a clear super favorite, and on the other side Arsenal must make a perfect series by winning all his games to have a chance. I pray, I pray, but I have to improve the quality of my prayers ”said the FIFA World Football Development Director for beIN SPORTS.
