STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Sun: Man City v Arsenal

The Premier League title race could be decided in a blockbuster showdown, as Manchester City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, writes JOE CITRONE.

Pep Guardiola’s side are peaking at just the right moment, trimming Arsenal’s lead at the top to six points with their win over Chelsea – and they’ll be aiming to close the gap even further on Sunday.

The pressure is mounting on Arsenal, who now face the very real prospect of ending the season without a trophy – an outcome that would be especially bitter after earlier dreams of a quadruple.

However, a win on Sunday against title rivals Manchester City, would extend their lead back to nine points and put them firmly back in the driving seat for top-spot in the Premier League come the end of the season.

That said, though, I am backing Manchester City here, with Guardiola’s side hitting form at the right time and the pressure appearing to get to the Gunners.
