Antoine Semenyo insists that he has no plans to watch Arsenal versus Chelsea after Manchester City edged past Leeds United 1-0 on Saturday.
Manchester City have closed the gap at the top of the Premier League to Arsenal back down to just two points ahead of the clash at the Emirates Stadium.
TRUE or FALSE: Antoine Semenyo would have been a better signing for Arsenal than Eberechi Eze…
The Gunners will be looking to re-extend their lead when they welcome Chelsea to N5 on Sunday afternoon in what is now a huge London derby.
Semenyo has proved to be a huge signing for City since his move in January, and his latest goal could prove detrimental to the Gunners’ title hopes.
Antoine Semenyo will not be watching Arsenal vs Chelsea
Antoine Semenyo has confirmed that he will not be watching Arsenal take on Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The match-winner from Elland Road insists he plans to relax after helping secure Man City a vital three points.
When asked whether he will be watching Arsenal’s match, Semenyo told Stan Sport FC: “I try to wind down, I try not to watch anything. Just relax and, yeah, we’ll see what happens.”
This is Petr Cech’s Arsenal vs Chelsea combined XI. What changes would you make?
His strike just before half-time in West Yorkshire proved to be the only goal of the game and means Pep Guardiola’s side have done their job this weekend.
The pressure is now firmly on Mikel Arteta’s team to beat Chelsea and ensure that their lead at the top of the Premier League extends back to five.
Arsenal beat the Blues in the EFL Cup at the Emirates last month, with Kai Havertz netting the only goal of the game, and they would love to do the same again.
Antoine Semenyo continues to prove Arsenal made a big mistake
Semenyo continues to prove why Arsenal made a big mistake rejecting the chance to sign him during the January transfer window.
Right now, it feels unlikely that the title race would still be on had City not moved to bring the winger to the Etihad Stadium.
City paid Semenyo’s £65m release clause; however, despite being keen on him, the Gunners opted against a move for him.
Semenyo wanted to join Arsenal, but Andrea Berta and Arsenal never came in for him, and now he’s at City looking to make them pay.
