After Manchester City’s 1-0 win yesterday against Burnley, it now puts them tied at the top of the table, with Arsenal at 70 points. Arsenal had been at the top for approximately 200 to 209 days before this game for Man City. Arsenal looks to be in terrible form as of now, after losing to Manchester City 2-1 on April 19, Bournemouth 2-1 on April 11, and Southampton 2-1 on April 4. This has shocked a lot of people after the form they have had this whole season and now their league title may be slipping through their hands. Many fans are saying Arsenal “bottled the league,” because the last three seasons Arsenal had the lead for the league title but ended up being in second. If Arsenal doesn’t do anything now, this season will be the fourth consecutive season they ended in second place. As of now, Arsenal is looking to make it to the Champions League final, but first have to get through Atletico Madrid who just knocked out Barcelona, who were also in good form.
