After Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal, Roy Keane has spoken out on Manchester City’s position in the Premier League title chase.
On The Overlap, the 52-year-old was discussing the Citizens.
So, what did Roy Keane have to say about Manchester City and winning the Premier League? Let us have a look…
What is the backstory?
After Mikel Arteta upset Pep Guardiola at the Emirates Stadium, the Irishman was asked if he believes Arsenal will win the Premier League title.
“City has grown in the last few years,” Keane added. The set components are enormous. Arsenal can win the league, but they’ll need that striker… City is still my favorite. I’m not giving up on City.”
Clearly, Sunday’s result had no effect on the Sky Sports pundit’s prediction, which is correct.
Manchester City remains the overwhelming favorite to win the Premier League.
Yes, Arsenal now has the advantage over Manchester City, but the Gunners are only two points ahead.
Last season, the north Londoners enjoyed an eight-point lead over the Citizens midway through March and still finished second.
As a result, despite Sunday’s defeat, Guardiola and his team still have a long way to go, as they frequently peak later in the season.
There should be no sense of internal pressure at the Etihad Stadium as a result of last season’s efforts to reclaim Arsenal’s advantage.
Even if the situation worsens, Guardiola and his players will be encouraged by what happened last season and will have learned what to do in these difficult situations.
We agree with Keane that Manchester City will win the Premier League this season.
