Why Man City will have Arsenal regret after Liverpool FC defeat

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

From the outside looking in, Manchester City would appear to have benefitted from fixture changes this week. The Blues were due to play Arsenal on Thursday night at the Emirates in what would have been a tantalising match.

Mikel Arteta's side are flying high four points clear at the top of the table with nine wins from their first ten games and would have been right up for it at a re-energised Emirates.

It arguably would have been the worst time for City to go there and get a result given both the form Arsenal are in and the fact that they have suffered their first defeat of the season.

While they were already being talked about by some as certainties for the title before Liverpool, consecutive losses would have put a very different spin on things.
