Summary
The second part of In Focus is here, all about the title race. We’re joined by Gary, Jamie, James McNicholas from The Athletic & fans from Arsenal & Manchester City.
Our Arsenal fans are as confident as ever, but Gary is still sceptical on Arsenal’s title challenge, doubting their experience.
But is this a different Manchester City team to their previous title winning sides? Did Manchester City make a mistake selling Zinchenko & Jesus to Arsenal? And will allowing Joao Cancelo leave the club come back to haunt them? Has Pep Guardiola made a major mistake?
Part three shall be out tomorrow, diving into Manchester United’s ownership. Make sure to subscribe and turn notifications on.
00:00-18:45 Can Arsenal really win the Premier League?
18:46-39:48 Will Manchester City kick on & win the league?
