Jesus says Arsenal will treat Man City match as a ‘final’

Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus believes Arsenal will approach their crucial Premier League encounter with Manchester City on Wednesday as if it were a final, as the Gunners aim to keep their title hopes alive.

Despite their recent 3-3 draw against Southampton, Arsenal remain five points ahead of City, though having played two games more. A win for Arsenal would put them back in full control of their destiny, but a loss would give City the edge in the title race.

City are currently in contention for a treble after knocking out Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals and defeating Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals.

City are the favorites to win the upcoming match against Arsenal at home. Nonetheless, former City player Jesus believes that Arsenal’s recent draw streak does not change the landscape for the game, insisting that every game is a final and they must approach it with the same intensity.

Jesus, who has nine goals and seven assists this season despite missing three months due to injury, admitted that Arsenal’s last three results have left a bad taste in the mouth
