As Arsenal looks to upset the status quo in the Premier League title battle, forward Kai Havertz declared that he will become the “greatest fan” of rivals Tottenham of North London when they play Manchester City on Tuesday. With a 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, Havertz set up Leandro Trossard for the game’s lone goal, moving Mikel Arteta’s team to the top of the standings by one point. With two games left to Arsenal’s one, City still holds the power to decide who will win the championship.
First up is a midweek matchup between Pep Guardiola’s team and a stadium where they have lost all four of their previous Premier League seasons without scoring. Havertz declared, “I am going to be a Tottenham fan for eternity.” “Let us hope this works out!” With their seven straight league victories, City has been unstoppable in recent weeks as they get closer to an unprecedented fourth consecutive English Premier League crown.
For Arsenal to stay in the race, they too had to be almost perfect. They have achieved a club record 27 victories in a Premier League season by taking 46 of the final 51 points that are available. “What they are doing is amazing,” Arteta remarked. “I believe that when you succeed, it motivates you to do more, to become more equipped and ready to succeed in many situations.”The team has won the most Premier League games in its history with twenty-seven victories. That is history, not advancement. Many thanks to the players.
United, on the other hand, could end up missing out on European participation for just the second time since 1989–1990. After suffering their 19th loss across all competitions this season, Erik ten Hag’s team is currently eighth in the standings, 32 points behind Arsenal. At least after suffering a 4-0 drubbing at Crystal Palace on Monday, United looked considerably better. And Ten Hag once more blamed his team’s difficulties this season on a long injury list. Among the United players absent were Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Captain Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Luke Shaw.
Ten Hag compared it like attempting to swim while having your hands bound behind your back. “Fit players are necessary for a team to advance. The team we played today is evidence of it.” With two games left, United, who have never finished lower than seventh in the Premier League’s history, are three points behind Chelsea and Newcastle. Should United fail to place among the top seven or win the FA Cup final against Manchester City, they will be eliminated from the European competition.
Ten Hag continued, “(It is) incredibly harmful (not to qualify for Europe), but that is the scenario we are in.” “Upon analyzing the performance, it is evident that we were competitive. However, this is not how we would like to win; United must always prevail! However, with all of our injuries right now, as a team and a club, we are not in this situation.”
