Image! The Times: Like the Jurassic Park drinking glass scene, Arsenal heard huge footsteps

November 10th After defeating Liverpool with a score of 3-0, there is only a 4-point gap between Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the list. The Times talks about this season's Premier League title race.

The Premier League once again proved its unique charm. Manchester City performed well against Liverpool last Sunday and completely suppressed their opponents. The entire weekend's games, starting with Sunderland's draw with Arsenal, had fans excited. Currently, there is only four points between the top and second place, and the suspense of the title race is once again in doubt.

For the excitement-seeking Guardiola, there is no better place than the Premier League. The two-point difference changed the situation, with Arsenal failing to beat the teams currently ranked in the top six, which further complicates the title race. Manchester United are the only top-nine side to have lost to Arsenal this season, with Liverpool beating them, Manchester City and Sunderland both drawing with them, and Chelsea, Tottenham, Villa and Bournemouth yet to face them.

The uniqueness of this league is part of its appeal. Frustrating as it may be at times, it's this imperfection that has allowed Guardiola to manage more games here than he did in Spain and Germany combined. Klopp left Liverpool not because he was tired of English football, but because it sapped his energy. He and other managers have great admiration for old-school managers like Tony Pulis and Neil Warnock and know the work these men have done in English football.

Guardiola quickly realized that this was a special league. He was once late to a press conference because he drank wine with Tony Pulis. Klopp was surprised by the pillars in the visitors' dressing room at Selhurst Park, Mourinho relished the unpredictable nature of the league with its packed schedule over Christmas and New Year and cup replays.

Manchester City performed very well against Liverpool and confirmed that they are strong contenders for the championship. Doku and O'Reilly performed well and Haaland showed his confidence was unaffected by scoring after missing the penalty. Manchester City can still return to title contention without Rodri.

Psychologically, this is an important weekend for Arsenal, who are feeling the pressure from Manchester City ahead of the international break. Like the water glass scene in Jurassic Park, Arsenal now heard the sound of giant footsteps. They must face competition from Manchester City, and in the past few years, Arsenal have always been suppressed by Manchester City at critical moments.

Of course, the situation may not develop like this. Arsenal are a better team now, with a stronger squad, and they've been having a good time. Liverpool's performance is poor and Manchester City has lost three games. Even on Sunday, when City dominated the first half, Van Dijk's goal was ruled out for offside, showing their vulnerability.

However, the certainty surrounding Arsenal's title win has evaporated. The four-point gap makes the situation delicate. We can't wait to see what happens next, and so does Guardiola, which is why he's still here after 1,000 games.
