Following Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal, Roy Keane has now spoken out on Manchester City’s position in the Premier League title chase.
On The Overlap, the 52-year-old was discussing the Citizens.
What did Roy Keane have to say about Manchester City’s Premier League victory? Let’s look at this…
What’s the premise?
Following Mikel Arteta’s victory over Pep Guardiola at the Emirates Stadium, the Irishman was asked if he believes Arsenal will win the Premier League championship.
“City over the last few years, they’ve gotten bigger,” remarked Keane. Huge sets are used. Arsenal can win the league, but they’d need that striker to do it. I’m still supporting City. I won’t budge regarding City.
Sunday’s outcome clearly had no bearing at all on the Sky Sports pundit’s forecast, which is exactly correct.
For the Premier League championship, Manchester City remains the overwhelming favorite.
Yes, Arsenal presently has the upper hand over Manchester City, but as things stand, the Gunners are only two points ahead.
Midway through March in the previous season, the north Londoners evidently had a sizable eight point advantage over the Citizens, but they still managed to finish second.
Guardiola and his team still have a long way to go because they often reach their peak later in the season, despite Sunday’s loss.
Due to previous season’s attempts to overtake Arsenal’s advantage, there shouldn’t be any internal pressure at the Etihad Stadium either.
Even if things worsen, Guardiola and his team will be inspired by what transpired the previous season and will have experience with these trying circumstances.
We concur with Keane that Manchester City still has the Premier League’s to lose this year.
