Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes neither Arsenal nor current leaders Liverpool can catch Manchester City in the Premier League this season. The Gunners closed the gap on the Reds with a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (February 4).
The leaders reached two points. City, meanwhile, are five points behind the Merseyside group but have two games in hand. Pep Guardiola’s men will have the chance to draw level with the north Londoners when they face Brentford on Monday (5 February).
Despite Arsenal’s monumental win, Keane said (via the Daily Mail):“After watching the game I knew Liverpool had a bad day and Arsenal were still good but I don’t see any team ahead of Manchester City yet. I just can’t do it.”He added:“Listen, I’ve made mistakes before. But looking at City’s position, of course, seeing De Bruyne return, Haaland is available.
I didn’t see these two teams go all the way. , I think in terms of retention, “I don’t see him at Manchester City,” he said. City have shown they can win the title after a long chase. Last season they beat Mikel Arteta’s side by five points after just 248 days in charge of the Gunners.
If Manchester City win the Premier League this year, it will be their fourth consecutive title in England’s top division. Liverpool are the latest team to progress to the Premier League after beating Manchester City in the 2019/20 season.
Jamie Carragher congratulated the Arsenal captain after his Premier League victory over Liverpool.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard for his actions following Sunday’s win over the Blood Reds at the Emirates Stadium. After the match, a club cameraman came and filmed the moment when the players celebrated with the fans. Odegaard asked for the camera as he clicked the cameraman’s pictures of the Emirates crowd.
Carragher was not happy about this, according to Sky Sports (via the Mirror).”Just get out of the tunnel! We won a big game, got three points and are back in the title race. Just get out of the tunnel. I mean it.”Arsenal travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Sunday (February 11).
