The Premier League season is approaching its final stretch, and as things stand, Arsenal lead the title race with a nine-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City, though City have a game in hand on the Gunners.

Pep Guardiola’s team dealt a significant blow to Mikel Arteta’s already, beating them 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday to take the first trophy of the season. Both goals were scored by Nico O’Reilly, who believes it was “a blow” for Arsenal.
