Arsenal have been told by Liverpool legend John Barnes they will fall short in the Premier League title race with Manchester City because of the lack of experience in their squad. The Gunners sit five points clear of their nearest rivals, but Barnes has tipped Pep Guardiola's side to secure their fourth successive league triumph in England.
Despite going a goal down against West Ham, Arsenal were able to maintain their gap at the top of the table, with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah scoring in the comeback win. Two days later City reduced the gap back to five points after they beat Leeds 3-1, with Erling Haaland now at 20 goals for the season.
Understandably, many have cited Haaland's goal threat as the main reason why City will win another Premier League title over Arsenal, but Barnes believes that the main difference is one controlled in north London, not Manchester.
