Roy Keane has praised Manchester City's impressive run of form, believing they are the 'red-hot favourites' to win the Premier League. After Arsenal stumbled in their 3-3 draw at home to Southampton on Friday night, they now have only a five-point lead over Man City, who have two games in hand.
The Citizens eased past Sheffield United 3-0 on Saturday to reach the FA Cup final and a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, giving them a chance to become only the second English team to win the treble, after Manchester United in 1999.
When asked whether this 'irritated' him, Keane responded: 'Yes and no...I don't begrudge teams who are successful, I know how hard it is to win a trophy. If City go on to win the treble, I'd honestly say well done. They're very much the favourites for the FA Cup and the Premier League, but the big problem is getting over Real Madrid.'

With a crucial title showdown between Arsenal and Man City looming on Wednesday, it remains to be seen who will come out on top as the season reaches its climax.
