'That’s the end': New Arsenal Premier League title prediction emerges after Man City draw

Chelsea legend John Terry has predicted Arsenal to go on and claim the Premier League title.

On a potentially pivotal night at the summit, Arsenal beat Brighton 1-0 thanks to Bukayo Saka’s goal inside the opening ten minutes, while Manchester City were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Nottingham Forest.

As a result, the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table stands at seven points.

Man City do, however, have a game in hand over Arsenal and still have to play Mikel Arteta’s side at the Etihad Stadium in what is being billed as a title decider on April 19.

Terry, though, believes City dropping points against Forest surely signals the end of their hope to be crowned champions of England this season.

"There were some big performances and some upsets in the Premier League last night," Terry said on TikTok.

"Manchester City dropping points again, surely that’s the end of it for them after Arsenal beat Brighton as well.

"I didn’t see that one coming if I’m honest."

Both Arsenal and Man City have one more Premier League fixture to play this month because of their upcoming showdown in the Carabao Cup final.

The Gunners host Everton at the Emirates Stadium a week on Saturday and City are in London to face a West Ham side battling relegation.

An unprecedented quadruple is still achievable for the two teams. Arsenal take on Mansfield in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend and have been given a more favourable path in the Champions League knockout phase.
