Micah Richards has dismissed claims that Arsenal have faltered in the Premier League title race, insisting the North London side remain firmly in contention.<\/p>\n
Speaking after Manchester City secured a routine victory over Burnley, Richards pushed back against the narrative that Arsenal have \u201cbottled\u201d their chances. He made it clear that the race is still open and believes Mikel Arteta\u2019s side can go all the way.<\/p>\n
Richards said Arsenal have shown consistency and resilience across the campaign. He argued that dropping points at this stage does not define a team\u2019s mentality, especially in a highly competitive title race involving City.<\/p>\n
The former City defender also highlighted the pressure that comes with chasing a title against a side managed by Pep Guardiola. He noted that City\u2019s experience often gives them an edge in the final stretch, but insisted Arsenal have the quality to respond.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have been locked in a close battle at the top of the table, with every result carrying major weight. Despite recent setbacks, their overall form has kept them within touching distance of City.<\/p>\n
Richards\u2019 comments reflect a wider view among pundits that this title race is far from decided. He emphasized belief within the Arsenal squad and suggested that momentum can still shift in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
