The playmaker for Manchester City, Bernardo Silva, has acknowledged that the team cannot keep losing games this year.
Premier League champions presently trail league leaders Arsenal by seven points.
Chelsea will be City’s next opponent; the Gunners will host Newcastle United on Tuesday night.
By the time Silva and company arrive at Stamford Bridge, they may be 10 points out of first place.
“Even if the Premier League isn’t halfway over, it’s getting challenging because if you keep slipping, the distance could widen.
The way Arsenal is acting, along with their vigor and hunger, makes them a very dangerous squad, according to Silva.
