**Didi Hamann believes Man City’s win against Liverpool at Anfield earlier this month was a “huge blow” for Arsenal in the title race.**
While he doesn’t think that [**Pep Guardiola**](https://mancitynews.com/man-city-news-nico-oreilly-guardiola/)‘s current team is necessarily the best, Hamann still feels they can finish top due to the Gunners’ lack of experience in winning titles:
“For the Arsenal players, they haven’t been Premier League champions. And unless you do it, you don’t know you’re capable of doing it. So, I think there will be a few edgy moments. But, I think they probably watched Man City beat Liverpool, I think it would have been a huge blow to them, but it makes a big difference to go from losing the game to winning it in four or five minutes.”
“I think it’s far from over, even though I don’t think City are great. It’s not the City we used to see, but they find a way of winning games, and they know how to win the league. They know how to win titles because they’ve got some Premier League winners in the ranks. So yeah, I think it’s game on.”
What are the odds of Man City winning the title?
------------------------------------------------
Guardiola’s side are now priced between 13/8 and 7/4 to finish first. Those odds have shortened significantly as Arsenal’s lead at the top of the table has been cut in recent matches.
The Gunners remain odds-on to secure their first title in over two decades, but the pressure is beginning to build.
Who will the two teams play this weekend?
-----------------------------------------
City can cut Arsenal’s lead to two points if they beat Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday night. They will be playing before their title rivals, who face Chelsea at home the following day.
Neither game is particularly straightforward. Leeds are still fighting to secure their top-flight status, while Chelsea are in a fierce battle to qualify for the Champions League.
