Doku declares 'title race is on' ahead of Arsenal showdown at Etihad

Man City goalscorer Jeremy Doku laid down a marker to league leaders Arsenal and told them the "title race is on" ahead of their showdown next weekend - with even Pep Guardiola admitting his side are no longer underdogs.

City capitalised on Arsenal's nervous home defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday with an emphatic second-half performance to claim a 3-0 win at Chelsea and move six points off the top with a game in hand ahead of the Gunners' visit to Manchester next weekend.
