Former Manchester United man, Nicky Butt, has said that Manchester City would reel Arsenal in and win yet another title this season.
He said that the Cityzens would win the title because of their highly experienced manager.
He said this following results from the Premier League fixtures over the weekend.
Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa, while Manchester City beat high-flying Sunderland 3-0 to close the gap between them and Mikel Arteta’s side to just 2 points.
Butt said that he believes that City are better positioned to win despite bookmakers tipping Arsenal to end their 22 years of long wait.
“I did say I fancied Man City for the title about a month ago,” Butt said on the Good, The Bad & The Football podcast. ”
They’re suddenly clicking.
“The reason I think Man City will win the league is Pep [Guardiola]. He’s got the experience. I can see him winning the league this year and then leaving.”
No one would expect Arsenal to lose a back to back league game when bottom-placed Wolves visit the Emirates Stadium next weekend.
Manchester City face a potentially tricky trip to Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace beat Manchester City in last season’s FA Cup final.
