Manchester City is poised to achieve an unprecedented feat in the Premier League.

Manchester City could win the Premier League despite having led the table for the least amount of time in history, a scenario that would force Arsenal to face an astonishing collapse.

Manchester City is now facing the opportunity to create a scenario unprecedented in Premier League history, one that could haunt Mikel Arteta and Arsenal for years to come. The 2-1 victory at Etihad not only helped Manchester City reduce the gap with Arsenal to just 3 points, but also completely reversed the dynamics of the title race. When the final whistle blew, the feeling for Arsenal was not merely a simple defeat; it seemed like a sign that they were losing the entire season.

Before the match, many believed that Manchester City defeating Arsenal was something that "would happen sooner or later." And when it became reality, the psychological pressure seemed to have shifted entirely to Arteta's side. Despite playing better than in their previous defeat at Wembley, Arsenal still lacked the composure to finish off their opponent.

If they defeat Burnley, Manchester City could absolutely ascend to occupy the top spot. Notably, they still have one match left against Crystal Palace, a team distracted by European competition. All advantages at this moment are leaning towards Pep Guardiola's squad.

What makes this scenario particularly special lies in the statistics: Manchester City has led the table for only about 2% of the season's duration, while Arsenal has held the top position for up to 84%. If they successfully turn the tide, City would write one of the most impressive "comeback" title triumphs in Premier League history.

Just two weeks ago, the gap between the two teams was 9 points. Now, Manchester City has not only caught up but also stands before the opportunity to overtake them. If Arsenal loses the championship from their current position, it would be a major shock, not only for their fans but also having a long-term impact on the faith in this generation.

Conversely, if Manchester City cannot complete this comeback, they can still hold their heads high after a spectacular pursuit. But clearly, all pressure is now piled onto Arsenal, and each remaining match will resemble a severe psychological test for Arteta and his team.
