Arsenal and Liverpool played out a very entertaining draw at The Emirates today as Man City were the real winners when it came to the Premier League title race.
The Gunners thought they’d got the game in the bag after Mikel Merino’s goal but a late leveller through Mohamed Salah proved enough for the Reds to snatch a point.
The game itself was a game of two halves with the Gunners shading the opening 45 and Liverpool edging the second period.
Jamie Carragher admitted to being disappointed in Liverpool’s display, while Ian Wright also felt his Arsenal side let the Reds back into the game.
And speaking about both Arsenal and Liverpool’s title push after the game, Roy Keane has admitted one is ahead of the other right now.
Roy Keane picks who can win the title out of Liverpool and Arsenal
Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Keane got onto the subject of who is closer to Man City right now out of the pair.
And according to Keane, it’s Liverpool who are in the driving seat as things stand.
“I want to say Liverpool. I gave Liverpool loads of praise last year and they ran out of steam with five or six games to go, so there’s lots of challenges ahead for them,” Keane said.
“But maybe the calmness of the players will help them in the long-run. But I’ve been wrong before. I would say at this moment Liverpool over Arsenal.”
Arsenal have got to put a big run together
The Premier League in recent years has been decided by just a few games being lost and Manchester City simply don’t drop that many points.
Arsenal have now dropped points in a number of games and in the last two, they’ve only take one point from what could and should have been four.
With suspensions and injuries mounting, Arsenal could find themselves out of the running before they even got going properly.
Right now, they need a run of wins and that has to start next week against Newcastle. Failure to win that one, essentially ends their hopes.
