Alan Shearer has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League title ahead of rivals Manchester City this season after the Blues dropped points away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's side drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, with the home side scoring late to steal a point after Bernardo Silva had given City the lead in the 41st minute. It came as a major blow to the reigning champions, especially with the Gunners coming from behind to win earlier in the day.
Mikel Arteta's men - who now sit two points ahead of the Blues with a game in hand - returned to winning ways with a 4-2 victory over Aston Villa. The London outfit had lost to City in midweek, but Arsenal responded well and secured an important three points in the West Midlands.
