‘The legend has spoken’, ‘We must beat liverpool first’ – Man City fans react as Sergio Aguero makes Premier League title prediction

Sergio Aguero has backed his former club Manchester City to pip Arsenal in the title race.

Arsenal hold an eight-point lead over City, although Pep Guardiola’s champions have a game in hand and host Mikel Arteta’s side on April 26.

Aguero, City’s record goalscorer who won five Premier Leagues in 10 seasons with the Blues, reckons his old club’s experience of seeing out title races can give them the edge.

“This is proving to be quite a title race,” said Aguero. “Arsenal are very consistent – I know Mikel Arteta and I respect his expertise. He knows how to make his team perform, and to better utilise the young, hungry players in his squad.

“We are keeping up the pace, though and are hot on their heels. But we also know, from tried and tested experience, that it isn’t over until it’s over. One thing is certain, City will fight until the end. It’s in our DNA. I hope we can overtake them and win another title.”

These Aguero’s comments shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.
