Roy Keane has now appeared to change his mind on Arsenal winning the title after seeing Manchester City v Tottenham today.
Keane has said all along that City will win the league with ease again this year and has so far not entertained the idea of others winning it.
However, after seeing Spurs nick a point at City today, Keane believes that Arsenal or Liverpool might have a chance of taking the title.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Keane was asked about someone else winning the Premier League title. And in his answer, he admitted Arsenal could be the ones to do it.
“Yeah I do (think someone else can win the title). I wouldn’t still bet against Man City but two or three months ago I’d have said City all day but now I’m starting to have doubts about whether they can win the title. There’s a reason it hasn’t been won four years in a row. Keeping the levels up, that hunger and desire. At the moment I’m looking at certainly Arsenal or Liverpool. I think Arsenal certainly are capable with the strength in depth and the experience of last year,” Keane said.
Arsenal have a glorious chance right now
The Gunners found themselves ahead last season and completely blew it. Few would imagine they’d find themselves in front once again and this time, they simply cannot throw it away.
As Keane says, they do seem to have extra depth and talent this time around and City are just showing signs of a slight slow down as well.
MORE ARSENAL STORIES
Of course, there is a long way to go and big results for Arsenal and others to get. But there is a real feel this year that the race is going down to the wire and anyone could snatch it.
Certainly, Arsenal are capable, as are Liverpool, and City are going to need to be at their very very best to make sure they retain the title.
Much like Gary Neville, it now seems Arsenal are winning Keane over.
