Ex-Man Utd star Louis Saha names Man City as Premier League title favourites

Former Manchester United and France striker Louis Saha has declared Manchester City the strongest team in the Premier League title race. His assessment comes following a dramatic weekend where Arsenal suffered a shock 3-0 defeat to Brighton.

Enzo Maresca’s side capitalized on the Gunners' stumble by securing a thrilling 5-3 victory over Sunderland. This result leaves City with a three-point cushion at the top of the table as the league enters the international break.

I think everyone can say that Arsenal had the best momentum even if they lost it towards the end. I think now City understood their mistakes, even if they still have young players coming through, they have this experience. The combination of strength and creativity is enormous in midfield so I do think they are the strongest one. On the bench as well because Jeremy Doku is coming back, it’s frightening. Louis Saha

For Arsenal, the weekend was a major setback. Goals from Pascal Gross, Charalampos Kostoulas, and Chema Andres condemned the title hopefuls to their biggest upset of the season at the Amex Stadium. The team now faces a three-week wait before returning to action against Leeds, knowing they must regain their form to stay in the hunt.

Meanwhile, City’s title credentials will face a stern test when they resume their campaign, as they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool. The reigning champions will aim to maintain their perfect away record in what promises to be a pivotal clash.
