Owen Hargreaves is adamant that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side remain in the Premier League title race (AFP via Getty) ‘I think it helps having Donnarumma in goal and Haaland at the top of the pitch, but it just feels like they’ve got these brilliant little players, Cherki coming on and scoring a fabulous goal, him and Foden are going to be some fun supporting Haaland. ‘I think he’s got a great squad again this season. I think last year all the injuries, Rodri, and then the confidence went down, all of a sudden I think they’re slowly building, doing well in the Champions League, second in the Premier League, obviously got a big game at Anfield on Sunday, if they win that then it’s game on for everything. ‘I think as great as Arsenal are, they haven’t done it, they haven’t won it yet, and they’re getting there, they’re going to win it eventually. ‘But the last team you want chasing you is these guys, they’ve been there and done it for such a long time, the players and the manager. ‘But I think they’ve put themselves in a great position, Arsenal, but this City team are going to chip away quietly. ‘And if they can get Rodri back into the mix with this team, with what they have, then it will be a fascinating title race.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
