After a setback against Manchester City in the League Cup final (2-0), an elimination against a D2 (Southampton) in the FA Cup quarter-final (2-1), a home defeat against Bournemouth in the league (2-3) and a painful qualification against Sporting in the Champions League quarter-finals (1-0, 0-0), Arsenal can lose everything five days from the end of the season.
A goal every two games against Arsenal
Six points separate Arsenal and Manchester City before their clash this weekend and Erling Haaland’s teammates even have a game in hand. A success on Sunday could therefore reset the counters between the two rivals.
