Cascarino: Chelsea Must Beat Man City to Help Arsenal Win Title

According to a report by Ifreke Inyang, former Chelsea star Tony Cascarino claims Chelsea must beat Manchester City to help Arsenal in the Premier League title race. Speaking on talkSPORT, Cascarino noted Arsenal are nine points clear with seven games left but doubts they will win all remaining matches. He believes City would beat Arsenal in eight out of ten head-to-head encounters, stressing Arsenal need more help from rivals.

Arsenal's recent Carabao Cup final loss and FA Cup quarter-final exit leave them focused solely on the league. Their next fixture is hosting Bournemouth, while City travels to Chelsea later this week before hosting Arsenal at the Etihad in the coming week.

For Nigerian EPL fans, this analysis underscores that the title remains competitive despite Arsenal's lead. The Chelsea vs City match could be pivotal in determining whether Arsenal maintain their advantage or if City closes the gap.

Given Cascarino's skepticism, do you think Arsenal can clinch the title without Chelsea's help, or will Manchester City capitalize on any slip-ups to challenge for the crown?
