Man Utd legend Roy Keane believes that Liverpool has now become the “favourites” to win the Premier League title after Arsenal and Man City played out a draw on Easter Sunday. Jurgen Klopp’s team took the top spot in the Premier League by defeating Brighton 2-1 in the early kick-off on Sunday, while Arsenal and City settled for a goalless draw at the Etihad Stadium.
As a result of these outcomes, Liverpool is now two points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, with Man City trailing by three points behind Klopp’s team. All three teams have crucial home matches coming up, with Liverpool set to face rock-bottom Sheffield United, Arsenal playing against Luton Town, and Man City taking on fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Former Man Utd captain Keane initially favored Man City to win the Premier League title at the beginning of the season, but he has now shifted his opinion and considers Liverpool as the “favourites” to clinch the trophy. Keane highlighted Liverpool’s ability to create numerous scoring opportunities in every game as a key factor in their favor.
On the other hand, fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville had initially backed Arsenal to win the title at the start of the campaign and is sticking with his prediction. Neville emphasized the importance of good form and mental strength heading into the crucial run-in for the title race.
Despite the various opinions, Neville maintained his belief in Arsenal’s potential, while acknowledging that all three teams are still contenders for the title. He also suggested that Man City could potentially win all nine remaining games to secure the title.
Overall, the race for the Premier League title seems to be intensifying as the top teams gear up for the final stretch of the season. Keane’s shift in favor of Liverpool and Neville’s persistence with Arsenal highlight the uncertainty and excitement surrounding the title race.
