With just a few matches left to play, Arsenal fans can dare to dream of celebrating their team’s triumph at the end of what promises to be an exhilarating season of football.” Another sports journalist based in Ilorin, Yusuf Mutiu Olaitan, said:“I think Arsenal will go all the way to win the 23/24 EPL, of course, they have the toughest matches to the run in, Tottenham and Manchester United away, Chelsea at home, those type of matches are what determines what the fate of a team would be, but Arsenal have found a way to get past difficult opposition this season, the display at Etihad is an example, the emphatic display at West Ham and home to Newcastle are also good examples.
You’ve got to earn every point.” In the same vein, a sports journalist based in Ilorin, Kwara state, Olaide Ahli said:“In analyzing the recent performances of the title contenders, Arsenal’s consistency and winning mentality stand out.
“On the other hand, I feel Pep’s Man City don’t have any motivation to go all the way, because they have won it all, winning the EPL this season won’t just be enough motivation.
“In conclusion, Arsenal’s exceptional performance throughout the season, coupled with their strong defensive record, prolific goal-scoring ability, and winning mentality, position them as the favorites to win the 2023/2024 English Premier League title.
A sports analyst based in Abuja, Nigeria, John Andah said:“It’s a close call but I can’t bet against Arsenal winning the title.
Well, at this point of the season, there is no longer a less important game but yet, there are games that the contenders have a 50-50 chance of winning, and that is the kind of game that might cause a very heavy problem for the contenders.
This means that Manchester City’s chances of winning the league jumped from 40.6 percent to 70 percent after their win last weekend and the defeats their rivals, Liverpool and Arsenal, suffered in the same weekend.
“Liverpool on the other hand aren’t just it for me, they have been getting scrappy wins, that which I don’t believe will last long, they will falter, they will be found out later on, Tottenham and Everton fixtures might come to hurt them.
After matchday 33, which is the 32nd game for each of the three main contenders for the 2023-2024 Premier League title, Arsenal and Liverpool placed Manchester City in the driving seat of the title race.
Before matchday 33, Arsenal had a 30.3 percent chance of winning the title but that dropped by 12 percent after their defeat to Aston Villa last weekend to 18.3 percent.
Indeed, it will take more than football on the pitch for any team to stop Guardiola’s City at this point of the 2023-2024 Premier League title race.
To further determine whether the 2023-2024 Premier League title race is over or not, we need to look at the games that might heavily influence how the campaign will end for the three contenders.
Besides that, there are no very high-quality games left for them in the league campaign when compared with the quality of games Liverpool, and especially Arsenal still have to play this season.
“Mikel Arteta’s team have already defied the odds this season by picking a combined eight points from their title-chasing rivals, Man City and Liverpool.
“That’s Brighton’s first defeat in front of their fans since August last year.
“All of these doesn’t mean Arsenal will go on and win all their matches but I believe they will gather enough wins that will take them to the glory.” What do you think? After the weekend game, a supercomputer owned by renowned football statistics company, Opta ran 10,000 simulations of the final six games of the season, with City ending up on top in 7000 of them..
