Premier League: Arsenal Surge Ahead as City Falter
The Premier League title race has swung firmly in Arsenal’s favour this January. Arteta’s men delivered a sharp and assured 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, extending their lead at the top to seven points. The Gunners looked confident and ruthless, keeping their momentum alive at a crucial stage of the season.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are struggling to find their spark. Pep Guardiola’s side have yet to win a league game in 2026, a surprising dip for a team usually known for consistency. Even a goal from new signing Omar Marmoush against Wolves could not change their fortunes today.
Speculation is now swirling around Guardiola’s future, with talk that he may step down at the end of the campaign. For now, Arsenal look in control of the race, while City face growing doubts and pressure.
