Chis Sutton has named his favourites to win the Premier League as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City battle it out for the title.
The weekend’s action saw a shift at the pinnacle of the desk as Mikel Arteta’s side moved above Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Arsenal now lead the way in the Premier League on aim distinction following a convincing 3-0 win at Brighton.
The Gunners answered to Manchester City’s 4-2 victory at Crystal Palace in the early kick-off in some style and Liverpool were made to rue their missed probabilities in a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Despite consequences swinging Arsenal’s way over the weekend, Gabriel Agbonlahor has warned their supporters not to get too carried away and believes City will regain their crown.
But the momentum is obviously with Arteta’s facet at the moment as they have been near-flawless in the league due to the fact the turn of the year.
Indeed, Arsenal have only dropped points in the goalless draw at City and have picked up 10 wins from their last 11 league games.
Micah Richards also thinks the north Londoners have an benefit over City and Liverpool due to their highest quality purpose difference. Now, Chris Sutton has claimed that the title is Arsenal’s to lose.
Sutton predicts Premier League title winners
Speaking on The Monday Night Club, Sutton claimed that Arsenal have favourable fixtures over City and Liverpool.
“I had a excellent appear ultimate night time at the last fixtures, I suppose it’s Arsenal’s to lose, I simply do,” Sutton said. “You seem at the final fixtures and other than Tottenham away, and but Arsenal could go to Tottenham, they’ve obtained exquisite stability and you know what they’re going to do.
“I assume Arsenal’s fixtures are distinctly generous. They’ve got 4 at domestic and three away. Liverpool have bought three at home, and so have Manchester City. They’ve obtained trickier fixtures.
“But it’s Arsenal’s backline the place I think they have the edge. You spoke about the Raya scenario in the past in the season and I at the begin of the season wasn’t pretty certain about that.
“I don’t recognize where Rory was once on that as well but you can’t argue with that entire notion manner from Arteta actually due to the fact he’s enjoying well.”
He added: “At this second in time due to the fact of Arsenal’s purpose distinction that’s so considerable for them. So I make them favourites.”
Arsenal have tougher fixtures than City and Liverpool
We’d have to disagree with Sutton’s remarks on Arsenal’s ‘generous’ fixtures at some point of the run-in.
While the Gunners do have greater home games, their away games seem to be tough on paper.
Arsenal will face Tottenham away, as well as Wolves and Manchester United on the road.
As for City, they also face a trip to Spurs, as nicely as a hard test at Brighton before the season ends.
Liverpool have a Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park with Everton conflict to remain in the Premier League.
