Manchester City and Arsenal play out bore draw

Both teams had their chances, but ultimately, the match ended in a stalemate, with neither side able to break the deadlock.
For Arsenal, avoiding defeat against Manchester City was crucial to their title aspirations. A loss would have significantly dented their chances of staying in contention for the Premier League trophy.

With a two-point lead over Arsenal and a one-point advantage over Manchester City, the Reds are in pole position to lift the trophy come May. Projections by experts and statistical models indicate Liverpool's growing likelihood of becoming champions, with Manchester City trailing behind and Arsenal facing an uphill battle to claim the title.
