Premier League Title Race: Manchester City and Arsenal in Tight Contest
The Premier League title race is heating up, with Manchester City and Arsenal locked in a tight contest. Manchester City’s Rodri has revealed that the team is driven to create history by winning four consecutive Premier League titles. “It would be history. No team in history has won four Premier League titles in a row and we want to be the first,” says Rodri.

The Netflix documentary charting City’s journey to the treble last season is titled Together, and Spanish midfielder Rodri reckons that’s one of City’s biggest strengths as they look to end the season with a bang. “There’s a reason the documentary is called Together! That is what we are” endorsed Rodri. “All of my teammates, the coaches, staff behind the scenes, we are all together and fighting for the same goals for the team.”

The Premier League delivered on Saturday as there were major twists and turns at both ends of the table. Liverpool’s end-of-season collapse continued in the early fixture as Jürgen Klopp’s men could only manage a draw away to West Ham, further derailing their Premier League title hopes.
Aston Villa saw a two-goal deficit erased by Chelsea to throw another spanner in the works of their top-four push. Manchester United continued to struggle as they could only manage a draw with relegation-threatened Burnley.
Meanwhile at the other end of the standings, a thumping at the hands of Newcastle United means Sheffield United will head down to the Championship after just one season back in the big-time. Everton, however, secured their safety with a gritty 1-0 win over Brentford.
