Roy Keane expresses confusion over title race
Despite opportunities for Liverpool and City to overtake Arsenal, the points were split at Anfield. Consequently, Liverpool are now trailing Arsenal on goal difference in second place, with City one point behind in third.
“Honestly, I can’t call it. Last year I never had any doubt that City would eventually win it.
“I’m now doubting them a little bit. I’m not betting against them but Liverpool today… their performance, they’re creating chances, scoring goals.
“And you look at Arsenal now, physically, compared to last year, Arsenal look a much stronger team so I don’t think they will fade on that side of it.
“Of course they will [have learned from last season]. The recruitment, the players they’ve brought in, they’ve added strength to them and added quality and it’s just the physical side of it.
“I look at Arsenal, their mindset, and they look ready for the challenge so I don’t know who to go with this year,” Keane said, as per daily post.
