No be small wahala dey for Premier League title race oh! Arsenal don dey shake like jollof rice wey dem no cook well. Dem plan to carry the trophy go Emirates, but after dem lose 3-2 to Man United, e be like say dem don commot mind from their body.
As e stand now, Arsenal still dey top but dem only get four points lead. Man United wey don change coach come handle matter like pro, dey make their own waka too since Michael Carrick take over. Carrick know wetin him dey talk, e don tell dem make dem focus on the Champions League qualification, but as fans dey sing ‘we’re gonna win the league’, nobody fit take dem serious no more.
And no forget about Man City and Aston Villa wey dey coordinate their own plan. City just dey four points behind and dem don show say dem fit sabi win. Pep Guardiola still dey throw some serious jabs at Arsenal, dem still dey feel that ‘best team in the world’ title matter for dia head, but the truth be say e no easy to keep that kind title wey wan turn on top dem head – pressure plenty!
Aston Villa too don dey shine like new coin! Unai Emery dey push dem hard, dem don beat top teams like Arsenal and City this season, but dem need to maintain that momentum. I fit remember when Leicester shock everybody for 2015-16 season, wetin we no go see again? Na so Villa fit do if dem no allow pressure weigh dem down.
Arsenal dey find am hard to score goal lately, and dem need serious strikers wey go dey hammer goals like nail wey no wan come out. With star players like Saka and other forwards dey struggle like pounded yam wey no soft well, na risk dey anywhere wey dem go play.
City better find how to settle their defensive wahala well before dem go enter deeper trouble. Five losses already before January don show say a team wey no strong no fit carry the title. E go take more than one player to balance their midfield; this one na football matter, no be magic.
As we dey look forward to the next round of matches, e go plenty drama ahead. Arsenal’s fixtures dey show say dem go face tough competition, but if dem fit find their groove back, na dem go stand gidigba for the title race! This season dey twist and turn like Naija movie plot, so anything fit happen. Make we keep our eyes on the ball, na football we dey talk about!
