Brazilian football icon Rivaldo has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City, scheduled for March 31 after the international break.
Currently, Arsenal leads the league standings, sharing the top spot with Liverpool on goal difference, while Manchester City follows closely behind in third place.
With all three teams separated by just a single point, anticipation for the fixture is high, with many considering it a potential title decider.
However, Rivaldo, while acknowledging the significance of the match, emphasised that it won’t be the final determinant in the title race.
Speaking to Betfair, the former Barcelona star highlighted the importance of the encounter, referring to it as a “six-point game” due to its potential impact on the standings.
“I’m already looking forward to Man City vs Arsenal on Easter Sunday. It is a key game. As we say, it is a six-point game. If you win, you have a big advantage in the title race,” Rivaldo said.
“It is a game that Arsenal cannot lose, they need at least a draw and stay ahead of City. But even afterwards, there will still be plenty of matches to go. Despite it being a key game, it will not decide the title race.”
