After Sunday’s games, Arsenal have been knocked off top spot by Liverpool, who have a two-point lead over the Gunners.

Manchester City, meanwhile, sit 3rd in the table and three points off top spot with a worse goal difference than Jurgen Klopp’s side.

This, of course, has caused many people to view Liverpool as favourites to win the Premier League this term. One of which is Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola.

Asked if Liverpool are now favourites for the title, the Spaniard said post-Arsenal: “Yep. First is always favourite. Second is Arsenal.

“Third, we are. It’s not in our hands. Villa; next game, try to win it. It’s simple.”
