EPL: They have edge – Carragher predicts title race after Arsenal’s draw at Man City

Sky Sports pundit, Jamie Carragher, has said Manchester City still have the edge over Arsenal in the Premier League title race this season.

Both sides played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Etihad on Sunday, with John Stones scoring a dramatic 98th-minute equaliser to deny the Gunners all three points.

City have won the last title in the last four seasons, with Mikel Arteta’s men runners-up in the last two seasons.

Arsenal are the first side to take points off Pep Guardiola’s team this season, but City have a two-point advantage after five games.

“I just think they’ve got a little bit more, and if Arsenal had held on, it would have been a set-piece goal, and we know they’re amazing at set-pieces, we saw it last week, they won the game at Tottenham, but you can’t win the game on set-pieces every week.

“Sometimes it’s got to [be down to] the quality of your players, or the finishing, I just think Manchester City have the edge there,” Carragher said on The Gary Neville podcast.
