Just get the job done, Arsenal! Mikel Arteta's men under no obligation to entertain in Man City title showdown and should feel no shame about shutting up shop at the Etihad
No Obligation to Entertain
It's being billed as the biggest Premier League clash in years. On Sunday, Arsenal finally travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City in what has been marked in the calendar as potential title-decider for months.
Current Form and Table Standings
But with the two sides separated by just six points at the top of the table, and City holding a crucial game in hand, Mikel Arteta's out-of-sorts Gunners shouldn't feel like they need to live up to the much-hyped occasion.
- The two teams are separated by six points at the top of the table.
- Manchester City have a game in hand.
The Gunners have no obligation to deliver a game for the ages.
Approach to the Game
Arsenal have no obligation to deliver a game for the ages. Such a high-stakes encounter between first and second in the table at this late stage of the season is a rare thing, and the game is predictably being played up in the media as one that will determine the destination of the Premier League trophy.
