When Man City could get a verdict on 115 charges, the former Liverpool star takes a jab at the championship.
After defeating Tottenham, Manchester City is getting closer to winning the Premier League once more. After their disappointing end to the season, Liverpool was forced to adopt a spectator role in the Premier League title chase, something that one former player acknowledges is hard to accept. The Reds have only triumphed in two of their previous seven games, with Arsenal and Manchester City vying for the top spot. After defeating Tottenham on Tuesday night, City is now favorites to capture a sixth title in seven years and a fourth consecutive one. If Pep Guardiola’s team defeats West Ham on the last day, they will be declared champions. The probable success of the title is set against a controversial background. Now, fifteen months have passed.
This season, Nottingham Forest and Everton have both received point deductions, and many have been wondering when City’s appeal will be considered. The defending European champions fiercely refute any misconduct. There has been talk of holding a hearing in the summer. According to Rob Harris, a correspondent for Sky News, the Premier League has stated that it will happen “in the next few months.” However, that won’t do much to placate City’s opponents—especially Arsenal—ahead of the season’s last games. Liverpool lost against City in the final day of the season thrice, the most recent being in 2022.
Furthermore, former Reds player Jason McAteer acknowledges that he is still nervous about winning another trophy at the Etihad. He said to beINSports, “It does stick in your throat to think of how close we got and how many titles we could have won, especially with Liverpool following on City’s tails.” “When you consider the situation, you realize the City has excellent lawyers and even better accountants, and it has the financial resources to spend as it pleases. Mikel Arteta is very nearly winning this title. What’s going through his mind with Manchester City’s 115 charges if Arsenal loses?
