After a convincing 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Manchester City winger Jürgenmy Doku feels the team is securely in control of the Premier League title battle.
With a game remaining, City narrowed the lead to six points and will now focus on their pivotal matchup with Arsenal on Sunday.
“Obviously, we performed really well in this difficult game, scoring three points. Doku stated on Man City’s official website, “We needed those three points.”
Therefore, we’re just going to keep going. We are aware that everything is still within our control. We anticipate the game on Sunday and will recuperate well.
It’s not simple to come here, and it’s even harder to play against Chelsea in their stadium. All we had to do was keep going.
“We made some adjustments to our pressing, and more runs in behind create more space.” They were also under a lot of strain because of how we began the second half. It’s really helpful when you can score.
The match between City and Arsenal at the Etihad is increasingly being positioned as a possible championship game. While a loss would return control to the Gunners, a victory would swing momentum drastically in favor of the reigning champs.
“How many games are left for me?” Doku said. Something like six. If you win, I think it’s a huge blow to them; if you lose, it’s up to them, and we’ll have to wait for them to lose.
“It’s in our hands if we win, and I would rather have it in my hands.”
“We’ve already done it, but they’ll be hungry.” They are unwilling to simply hand it up to us. We must go and accept it, but we will be ready, I promise.
Even though City still has a game in hand, a victory for Mikel Arteta’s team would increase their lead to nine points. In that case, the winners would require Arsenal to make at least two mistakes while still being perfect.
