The victoria<\/strong> of the Manchester City<\/strong>over Burnley (0-1) certified the ‘changing of the guard’<\/strong> in the Premier League<\/strong>. He ‘Pep Team’, <\/strong>that came to be nine points from Arsenal, <\/strong>was placed leader <\/strong>thanks… to the goals in favor. <\/strong><\/p>\n

With five days left, ‘sky blues’ <\/strong>y ‘gunners’ <\/strong>are tied <\/strong>both in points (70) as in the ‘general goal average’ (+37), the main tiebreaker <\/strong>in the fight for the League. <\/strong>City, however, is above the having scored more goals: 66 vs. 63. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Winning is the only thing that matters. We have to win at any cost, yes, but we have to do something to win.<\/strong> We have to run, jump, pass and shoot. In terms of what I had asked of the team we have been extraordinary. “We played very well,” <\/strong>reinvidicaba Pep Guardiola<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winning is the only thing that matters. We have to win at any price<\/p>\n

The curious thing is that the ‘Opta’ Supervisor<\/strong>despite the ‘overtaking<\/strong>‘, keep giving like favorite <\/strong>to the team of Mikel Arteta. He still has a 65.5% chance of winning the title. <\/strong>The new leader, on the other hand, is ‘only’ given a 34,5%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is far away, yes, the 97,6%<\/strong> of options win the Premier<\/strong> that he supercomputer<\/strong> he even attributed to the ‘gunners’ a little over a month ago, the March 14<\/strong>. Arsenal’s bad moment – two defeats in the last three Premier League games – has created a new scenario.<\/p>\n

The defeat of Arteta’s team at the Etihad (1-2) marked a turning point. City’s chances of winning the League, always according to ‘Opta’, ‘doubled’: they rose from 14% to 28%. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“I don’t know, I don’t have a machine to measure your blood pressure, or how you feel.<\/strong> Whether you are nervous or not. I am sure, however, that going forward this will be positive for City. “The more experience you have in these types of situations, the better you will handle them,” <\/strong>Guardiola recognized. <\/p>\n

The explanation why City is still not a favorite for ‘Opta’ is simple: supercomputer <\/strong>attributes a greater difficulty to the calendar<\/strong> what lies ahead City (coefficient 90, including Burnley<\/strong>) than that of Arsenal (88,3)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

This is the calendar that awaits City and Arsenal<\/h2>\n

The ‘ghost’ of 2022-23 reappears at Arsenal<\/h2>\n

The ‘desert crossing’ of Arsenal<\/strong> to conquer your first league<\/strong> from ‘The Invincibles’ (2004)<\/strong> It is being especially hard. Since the arrival of Mikel Arteta <\/strong>in December 2019<\/strong>, Only Liverpool (620) have ‘slept’ more days as the leader (620) than the Gunners (539)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, according to ‘Opta’, Arteta<\/strong> He is, by far, the coach who for more days (539)<\/strong> has topped the classification without winning the title<\/strong>. It follows, from afar, Kevin Keegan, con 339.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The history of 2022-23 seems to repeat itself<\/strong>. He Arsenal<\/strong> was leader<\/strong> for almost the entire course – he was eight points ahead in March – and the supercomputer<\/strong> he came to attribute a ‘peak’ of 95%<\/strong> of options conquer the Premier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The script is almost carbon copy. Three consecutive draws against Liverpool (2-2), West Ham (2-2) and Southampton (3-3)<\/strong> The alarms went off and City, who also then had to make up pending games, completed the turnaround, beating Arsenal (4-1) at the Etihad<\/strong>. Will history repeat itself? We will see… <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
