After a thrilling match against Brentford, Arsenal emerged victorious with a late goal from Kai Havertz. This win propelled them to the top of the Premier League table, thanks to Liverpool's draw with Manchester City. Roy Keane, former Manchester United captain, shared his thoughts on Arsenal's performance, stating that they "look ready for the challenge" in this season's title race.
The game against Brentford was not an easy one for Arsenal, as the spirited Brentford side managed to equalize after Declan Rice's early header. But Havertz's goal in the 86th minute secured the win for the Gunners, making it their eighth consecutive victory. This puts Mikel Arteta's men at the top of the table after 28 matches.
The following day, Liverpool and Manchester City faced off in a highly-anticipated match. Both teams had the opportunity to overtake Arsenal, but the points were shared after a 1-1 draw. Alexis Mac Allister equalized for Liverpool with a penalty, after John Stones had opened the scoring for City. As a result, Liverpool now trail Arsenal on goal difference, with City sitting one point behind in third place.
Keane, who was in the Sky Sports studio, admitted that he couldn't confidently predict the winner of this season's title race. He mentioned that last year, he had no doubt that City would eventually win, but this year, he is doubting them a little bit. He also praised Liverpool's performance, saying that they are creating chances and scoring goals.
He then turned his attention to Arsenal, noting that they have significantly improved physically compared to last year. He believes that they will not fade away in the race for the title, and their strong mindset shows that they are ready for the challenge. Keane also mentioned that Arsenal have learned from last season and have made strong additions to their team.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher also shared his thoughts on the title race, stating that if City beat Arsenal later this month, they will be "strong favourites" to lift the trophy. However, if Arsenal manage to get a result against City, the conversation will change. Carragher believes that for Liverpool or Arsenal to have a chance at toppling City, they would need a three or four-point gap going into the last few games of the season.
In conclusion, it is still anyone's game in the title race, and Keane and Carragher both acknowledge that it will be a close and exciting battle until the end. Arsenal's impressive performance and strong mindset have made them a serious contender, and Liverpool and City cannot afford to underestimate them.
