Celtic diehard Kieran Tierney backed for Arsenal starring role vs Manchester City in title showdown

Kieran Tierney has been backed to start Arsenal's huge title showdown with Manchester City over Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Celtic diehard was handed a rare English Premier League start as the Gunners dropped two crucial points at West Ham. Mikel Arteta's men - like against Liverpool - came out the traps flying and found themselves two goals up inside the opening ten minutes. Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard had the league leaders in dream land but the Hammers got back into the contest through Said Benrahma's spot-kick.

Bukayo Saka was then guilty of missing from 12-yards with the score still 2-1 before David Moyes' men completed their stunning comeback through Jarrod Bowen. It leaves the North London outfit four points clear of Pep Guardiola's side having played a game more with a huge showdown at the Etihad on the horizon.
