ESPN FC · The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title? · 27 Jan 2026 podcast

It's scheduled for April the 18th.

I'm sure it'll get moved, but it's obviously back end of April.

If City are within touching distance, the back end of April, I think that they'll think that this is theirs to win.

It's a two horse race.

No, because of what, exactly the reason you just said, the minute that it looked like they could possibly push on.

And also they've got Europa League.

And I think the, the way that Emery's talking suggests that he is far more focused on winning the Europa League than he is.

win the league at a counter so that's what i mean about being the worst title race for a long time there's not a good there's not a great team everyone's going to have a problem in the second half of the season about how he manages the europa league in the premier league just like amram had last season and just like pasta koglu did because he's going to be torn about what do you go and try and win a trophy which comes with champions league football or do you try and get champions league football through the premier league and i think because the europa league offers you both of those things

And Villa fans, a lot of Villa fans, you know, this is anecdotal because it's just what I've heard on social media and on the radio and stuff.

Villa fans will want to win a trophy.

And I just wonder whether, when the going gets tough at the back end of the season, whether they're going to start resting players in the league.

depth but you know Leicester won the league by pretty much using 13-14 players in the running so it's just because City and Arsenal for me are just not showing signs of pulling away but both those sides will lose more games and also they've got the Champions League to contend with because sitting here right now I feel like Arsenal are going to go deeper in that competition than City are and so it becomes how you I've just talked about Villa and how they manage that it becomes about how Arsenal manage it and I know they've got a really deep squad but

They've got a run of games just looking at the end of Feb and beginning of March.

They've got Tottenham away, Chelsea at home, Brighton away consecutively.

And then obviously they've got that City game at the Etihad end of April.

I just wonder whether it's all... And it goes back to the same question.

Yeah, I was just looking.

Villa's last two fixtures are Liverpool at home and City away.

And it goes back to that same question we've been asking and debating all season on this pod.

Until Arsenal get over the line, there'll always be a question about the mentality.
