Roy Keane offers fresh Premier League title prediction after Arsenal revival
Roy Keane is unsure on who will win the Premier League title ahead of Sunday's blockbuster affair between Liverpool and Manchester City.
Arsenal moved to the top of the table for the first time since December as they squeezed past Brentford 2-1 on Saturday. It was the Gunners' eighth top-flight victory on the bounce and Mikel Arteta's side are looking strong as they try to secure their first title since 2004.
Meanwhile, Liverpool sit second, one point behind the Gunners but they will move back to the summit - having started the weekend there - with victory on Merseyside. As for City, they are third and will jump to the top of the pile themselves if they win at Anfield for the first time in three years.
It's poised to be a fascinating title race between now and the end of the season and ex-Manchester United midfielder Keane simply cannot call it. He told Sky Sports: "If you asked me what camp I’d be in, and I’m including Arsenal, I wouldn’t know which to choose to be honest.
"Arsenal are doing really well, they look strong physically, they look different to last year but then you have Man City who have had Haaland out injured and De Bruyne coming back after months out so it’s a really hard one to call."

Keane added: " Every team is desperate to win football matches and to win trophies. When you look at the background, the context of the match with Jurgen Klopp leaving at the end of the season, they've already won one trophy this season but I'm always reluctant to write off Manchester City and Pep Guardiola. What they've done over the last few years has been incredible and for me, it’s a hard one to call."
Liverpool are eyeing their second Premier League title in four years and Jamie Carragher believes his former side must beat City if they are going to go all the way this season. "I think if Liverpool are going to win the league, they’ll need to look back at this game and see that they got three points," he said.

"It’s not over if you draw or if you lose but City have got a much tougher schedule over the next few weeks and if they drop points here, I don’t know if they’ll be able to make up the difference."
When asked about whether Liverpool are stronger than City ahead of a gigantic encounter, Carragher added: " I don’t actually think Liverpool are a better team than Manchester City.
"I don't think they have better players individually. But for me, it's the atmosphere that can make the difference - it’s Anfield, playing at home, the feeling around the city, the fact that Klopp might never face Pep Guardiola here again in the Premier League. It’s all of those little things that can give Liverpool the edge today."
