MÁNCHESTER, Inglaterra (AP) — Arsenal pasó 248 días como líder de la Liga Premier inglesa la temporada pasada.
Aun así terminó con las manos vacías. El domingo por la noche podría volver a erigirse en la cima de la máxima categoría inglesa y enviar un mensaje enfático en el proceso. Arsenal recibe en el Emirates Stadium al campeón Manchester City, en un duelo entre el primer y segundo lugar de la temporada pasada, que será visto como una prueba temprana de las credenciales de título de los londinenses.
En la temporada anterior, Arsenal perdió los tres enfrentamientos ante el equipo del español Josep Guardiola, dos veces en la liga y una en la Copa de la FA. En esos tres partidos recibió ocho goles y anotó dos. Esos seis puntos obtenidos en los dos duelos de liga fueron la diferencia en la carrera por el título. El City terminó 5 puntos por delante.

By Sunday night it could return to the summit of England’s top division and deliver a big statement in the process. Arsenal hosts champion Manchester City at Emirates Stadium in a meeting between last season’s top two that will be seen as an early gauge of the Londoners’ title credentials. Arsenal last won the trophy in 2004 and looked set to end its wait to lift it again last term when repeatedly confounding pre-season expectations to lead the way from the start until the closing stages of the campaign. Eventually it folded under the pressure from City to earn the distinction of spending the longest period at the top without being crowned champions.
