Ilkay Gundogan has insisted that Manchester City should not be discounted from the Premier League title race, with only four points separating them from Arsenal at the top of the table. Despite Arsenal’s strong position, Gundogan believes the champions remain well placed to mount a sustained challenge as the season progresses. Arsenal have arguably been the standout side in the competition this season, with Mikel Arteta guiding his team in a bid to end a two-decade wait for the league title. While Arsenal have put themselves in a commanding position, the challenge posed by Manchester City remains significant. The margin at the top is slim, and maintaining focus and consistency will be crucial if Arsenal are to secure the crown.
