"We have to deal with the pressure. We’ll see how we keep going on until the end of [the] season." He added: "It’s going to be touch and go at times.

"If we can control what we do and keep picking up the points, that’s all we can worry about."

Richards and Keane agree on Jesus' killer 'instinct'

Micah Richards and Robbie Keane both agree that Arsenal target Gabriel Jesus has a killer 'instinct' to get into goalscoring positions.

As previously reported, the Gunners will target two centre-forwards this summer. football.london understands that Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus and Roma frontman Tammy Abraham are among the shortlisted profiles who could arrive at Emirates Stadium. Jesus in particular remains open to leaving the current Premier League champions, with his representative reportedly holding talks with Edu throughout the past few months.

But Richards thinks that City should hold onto Jesus, even if Erling Haaland joins them as expected. "You've got to play players in form and he looks the one now that’s going to score. I’d play him through the centre," he said live on Sky Sports.

"If Haaland comes, it’s a different proposition. There’s been rumours of Jesus potentially leaving, but you can’t sell him. Not just because he’s playing well now, because any role of the team. Give him a chance up front and he’s taken his chance. Haaland is still Halaand, but I would keep him."

Keane went onto add to the discussion. Find out what he had to say here.
