Kolo Toure has been giving his thoughts about the Premier League title race, ahead of Manchester City vs Arsenal tomorrow night.
The Citizens host the Gunners and it is the biggest game of the season so far.
Arsenal have slipped up in each of their last three matches.
They could only draw against Liverpool, West Ham United and Southampton, which has allowed City to get back to within touching distance of them.
The gap is now just five points, and City have two games in hand.
So Arsenal could seriously do with beating City at the Etihad. And they will have to do it without William Saliba, who’s been ruled out through his back injury.
Especially because they have some tough games coming up against the likes of Brighton and Newcastle United.
The eyes of the football world will be on this game. And many have already made their predictions for the game and also where the title will be heading this season.
One man who will be particularly interested in the outcome of this game is Toure, who of course represented both clubs during his playing days.
Toure won the title with both Arsenal and City. And he’s now given his prediction on which of his two former teams will win it this season.
He told The Telegraph: “The Arsenal players, now, in their head, there is a lot of doubt there. It’s not easy right now. Especially as they have young players.
“And now Arsenal have slipped a few times, they feel like: Oh my God they’re catching us. They are looking behind. When you look behind you, you slow down. My opinion would be Man City. Because the momentum is with City.”
Man City will deal massive psychological blow to Arsenal by winning tomorrow night, as Kolo Toure gives title prediction
So Toure believes City are going to come out on top in this battle for the Premier League title.
Guardiola’s side are certainly in the ascendency, and can deal a huge psychological blow to Arsenal by winning tomorrow night.
If City can get to two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand, that will be extremely hard to for the Gunners to deal with.
You would think they would then have to win every one of their remaining games. Because right now, City are relentless and obviously have big experience in seeing out seasons to win league titles.
