The obvious question is have Citeh now peaked or are they peaking? ... if the latter... they will likely do the double ...
Thats the thing though, and I dont mean to parrot Talk Sport, because I hate the ****ing programme, but the issue isnt that City have now "peaked", City havent dragged themselves back into the running, they have been allowed back in because of Arsenal's ineptitude.
IF Arsenal dont win, it wont be because they lost 2-1 at the Etihad, anyone can go to City and lose in a tight game, City are still one of the best teams in Europe and they have the best manager in football right now. City have won 27 points from their last 14 games (so 27/42) thats decent form but its not magnificent title winning form.
If Arsenal dont win, it'll be because they drew against Wolves when they were 2-0 up, it will be because of the draws against Teams like Brentford and Forest, it will be because they lost at home to Bournemouth. These are the sort of games that title winning teams put to bed, even if they dont play well.
If you look at teams that dominated a league season in the past, like City in their treble season, or United under Fergie in 08, or the back to back title winning Chelsea team under Jose Mourinho, they didnt drop all these points every other week to midtable and relegation threatened opposition, they burst through those games like a machine, even when they werent really firing on all cylinders, and they just kept on picking up W's.
This Arsenal team, under Arteta, seem incapable of that, and thats the reason they dont win, IF they dont win.
****, they should really be 10-15 points clear at this point. Liverpool **** the bed, City have been meh, Chelsea are dog ****, United seem improved of late but still a long way off, and Spurs look to be getting relegated...This was Arsenal's time, and if they **** it up, then they only have themselves to blame.
