Former Tottenham goalkeeper, Brad Friedel, has suggested that Manchester City will eventually close the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Speaking after City’s thrilling 5-4 victory at Fulham on Tuesday night, Friedel highlighted how Pep Guardiola’s side are steadily gaining momentum. The dramatic win reduced the deficit between City and Arsenal to just two points.
“I think Man City will catch Arsenal. I think Arsenal are the best team right now, I think they play the best football,” Friedel said. “But I think when it gets to March and April and they’re still going in Europe and the FA Cup if they get one or two of the wrong injuries… Man City has already fallen down they’re on the mend, they’ve had their psychological dip and I think they’re going to start coming up.”
Arsenal, who currently top the league, have the opportunity to extend their lead to five points when they host Brentford at the Emirates Stadium. Friedel’s warning serves as a reminder that the race for the Premier League crown remains intense, with City showing they are capable of closing the gap despite recent setbacks.
This comes amid a high-stakes season where injuries, fixture congestion, and form fluctuations will play a key role in determining whether Arsenal can maintain their advantage or if City will reclaim momentum in the title chase.
