Ian Wright gives Arsenal and Tottenham title verdict after Man City defeat offers vital boost

Ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes his former side and their North London rivals Tottenham could be involved in the title race until the very end this season. It comes after both clubs have had an ideal start to the campaign, putting them firmly in the conversation for a seemingly unlikely championship winning year.

It's the Gunners that currently lead the way for the rest of the division, sitting four points clear of champions Manchester City in second. Nine wins from 10 matches has seen Mikel Arteta's team receive plenty of plaudits for the results as well as performances, but the Spaniard has been coy on any title talk.

As for Spurs, their only defeat came against their rivals earlier this season, also sitting four points behind Mikel Arteta's side with an identical record to City but an inferior goal difference. While Arsenal are in Europa League action in midweek, Antonio Conte's men can move within one point with an extra match played as they travel to face Manchester United.
