Former Man City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips makes 'momentum' claim in Premier League title verdict

Former Manchester City midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips believes the title race still has plenty of twists and turns but has backed the Blues to come out on top.

City return from the international break with an eight-point gap between them and league leaders Arsenal following wins for both sides in the final league game of March. Pep Guardiola's side have one game in hand and a total of 11 matches to make up the gap but face a tough start to the run-in with Saturday's home clash against Liverpool.

The Gunners, meanwhile, host a resurgent Leeds United and with so much still to play for at both ends of the table, the old cliche of there being no easy games rings truer than ever this year. It's for that reason that Wright-Phillips, son of Arsenal legend Ian Wright, predicts anything but a simple run-in, although he backs the Blues' experience over the final two months.
