Ex-Arsenal captain Adams: Man CIty remain Premier League title favourites

Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams rates Manchester City as Premier League title favourites.

Adams wrote for The Sun: "If Manchester City were eight points clear with ten games to go, there would not even be a question about the title race already being over.

"But because it's Arsenal in that position, I still don't think they're favourites to be champions.

"Speaking from personal experience, I know just how difficult it is to get over that finishing line for the first time.

"Arsenal are going to get tighter and tighter with every game they play.

"It's going to be so tight and right now I'm experiencing a proper Fever Pitch moment because I'm watching every game from the edge of my seat like a proper fan.

"Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that Arsenal have been knocked out of the Europa League because it was never going to be their priority once they hit the top of the league.

"We all saw what happened in that competition when they rested some of their top boys and they're definitely not going to win the league with their back-up players.

"Even with their best players available, they might not do it.

"I might be the only person saying this but I still think it's City's title to lose."
