Former Manchester United captain, Roy Keane, made a prediction about the Premier League title race after Arsenal held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium. The day started with Liverpool coming from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Brighton at Anfield, with goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah overturning Danny Welbeck’s early opener.
The stalemate between Man City and Arsenal was described by Keane as a “chess match,” with both teams failing to find the back of the net despite their attacking talents. This result placed Liverpool two points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the table, with Man City trailing a point behind in third place.
Looking ahead to the upcoming fixtures, Arsenal and Man City are set to face Luton Town and Aston Villa at home, respectively, while Liverpool will host Sheffield United. Keane highlighted Liverpool as the “real winners of the day” due to their victory and their rivals dropping points.
In a post-match analysis, Keane expressed his view that Liverpool are now the favorites to win the league, given the quality of their performances and the disappointing showing from City and Arsenal. He emphasized the high standards set by City’s star players like Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, suggesting that they need to maintain consistency for their title aspirations.
Keane also criticized Erling Haaland’s overall game, stating that the young striker needs to improve his general play to match his goal-scoring prowess. Despite acknowledging Haaland’s goal-scoring ability, Keane believes that his overall game is lacking and compared it to that of a League Two player.
In conclusion, Keane’s assessment of the Premier League title race highlighted Liverpool’s position as favorites, while also pointing out the areas of improvement for top teams like Man City and individual players like Haaland.
