Paul Merson makes big Arsenal and Man City claim ahead of potential Premier League decider

The title race continues to throw twists and turns in every direction as the Premier League season rapidly approaches the end point. Arsenal lead the way, sitting five points clear of Manchester City, but it appears to be the latter that have the advantage after recent results.

Pep Guardiola's side have two games in hand over the Gunners, while the north London outfit have stumbled to three consecutive draws. The latest came in a 3-3 stalemate with bottom of the league Southampton, which saw plenty of drama thrown into the mix in an emotional game.

Next up for the north London side is a trip to the Etihad Stadium to face their biggest challengers to the crown, but it will be a tough clash on recent form. "Well hopefully it gives more belief because at the end of the day when you are able to do what they’ve done in a difficult context against the odds you have to believe in what you can do," Mikel Arteta said ahead of the potential title decider. "Today it’s tough to think about what happens because today we are focusing on what just happened and they’ve been through."
