'We’re going to see' - Micah Richards makes Arsenal title claim ahead of huge Man City clash

Former Manchester City defender turned pundit Micah Richards has said that it’s between his former club and Arsenal as to who will lift the Premier League title this season, with Sunday’s huge game pivotal in the outcome.

Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League on goal difference, ahead of Liverpool. Man City are in third, one point behind in what has turned into a three-way race with just 10 games left to play.

For Mikel Arteta’s men, domestic football returns from the international break with a bang as they face a trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on Pep Guardiola’s Man City. If the Gunners take all three points, it will move them four points clear of their rivals, but a loss would see City leapfrog them in the table.

Liverpool are in action just a few hours before, as they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield in an afternoon that could be crucial in the race for the title. Despite three teams being within one point of each other, Richards believes that it's between just two as to who will finish on top.

When asked on the Rest is Football Podcast if Liverpool are going to win the league, Richards said: “No, they’re not going to win the league, I think it’s Man City or Arsenal.

“I think Man City will win the league, I think it depends what happens on Sunday, if Arsenal go to the Etihad and win…”
