Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are all vying for the Premier League title in one of the most competitive races we’ve seen in recent years.
Jurgen Klopp‘s Reds currently sit top, followed by Pep Guardiola‘s Citizens, and Mikel Arteta‘s Gunners are third. But just two points separate first from third.
Liverpool are hoping to win their 20th top-flight title and give Klopp the best possible send-off ahead of his Anfield exit this season.
Meanwhile, Man City are eager to win a fourth Premier League title in a row, and Arsenal would be lifting their first title in 20 years, since the legendary Invincibles.
For the neutral, it’s an amazing spectacle. However, fans of all three teams will be watching on nervously as the drama unfolds.
In Kyle Walker‘s case, there’s one club he particularly doesn’t want winning the title. And it’s not surprising that the club in question is Arsenal.
The Man City ace – who previously played for Tottenham – was a guest on Rio Ferdinand‘s FIVE show, and was asked about a number of topics including the title race.
Ferdinand asked Walker whether he fancied the Citizens to win another Treble. He said “it’s so hard”, before the video cut to him speaking about the Gunners.
“I don’t want Arsenal, because of Tottenham,” he said. Ferdinand asked: “Still got an affinity to them?”
Walker replied: “Yeah, yeah… I don’t want Arsenal!”
Obviously Man City are Walker’s preferred destination as he looks to claim a sixth title with the Etihad Stadium club.
However, it’s completely understandable that, if he had to pick out of the other two title challengers, Liverpool would have the edge over his former employers’ bitter rivals.
Arsenal fans will no doubt be hoping even more (if that’s even possible) that they can lift the title this year now Walker has said this.
