Both teams have pretty favorable schedules running out the season Goal Differential may be the decider here between the two.....crazy.
I have been telling my son for two years that Artetta had hit his ceiling and it was time to move on to another coach.
He said "no". Artetta coached great defense, he had Arsenal a step away, all he needed was another player, or two.
Yesterday he texted me after yet another crushing loss to Man City and sent me a list of potential coaches.
The team that was young and talented four years ago is now a group of veterans, core players are subject to annual injuries, and it looks like another collapse is gaining steam.

Manchester City eked a win by the slimmest of margins on Sunday, setting up a season finale that will be determined by nerves

Arsenal is going to do this season what my Inter Milan did last season: be in contention for four trophies and win none of them. Last season, Inter lost the Champions League Final and Super Coppa Italia Final and the Scudetto by two points. This season, Arsenal already lost in the League Cup Final to City and is about to lose the Premier League after having a massive lead just a month ago, lost the FA Cup Semifinal, and probably won't win the Champions League.

That game was crazy. So many plays came down to an inch here or there. There are still several matches to play that could swing the title, and oddsmakers have things as a tossup. The Aston Villa -City game could decide it all.

Game of the week is Wolves vs. Spurs....at least that has the most intrigue.
Has to be a must win for Spurs, right? Their game of the season.
Absolutely, playing an already relegated team who is the weakest team left on their schedule.....they need 3 here or they are in pretty big trouble.
Spurs are in a bad spot. After this week they play Villa (4), Leeds (15), Chelsea (8), and Everton (10).
West Ham has Everton (10) this week and then Brentford (9), Arsenal (2), Newcastle (14), and Leeds (15).
