After beating Brighton 2-1, league leaders Manchester City failed to overcome Arsenal, and Liverpool took the lead in the English Premier League by two points.
The legend of the direct rival for the Manchester title Roy Keane commented on the current development of the championship: "I think that Liverpool are the favorites for the cup at the moment. In second place are Arsenal because of the main difference. And only third I see Manchester City after the injuries and various events in the team recently. In every Liverpool game one can spot the mistakes that the team makes, but they always create so many chances that they don't fail to score. Yes, a while ago I believed that City would win the title, but now I think it will be Liverpool."
Pundit Gary Neville is betting on Arsenal but also tipping Liverpool to clinch the title if they can eliminate Sheffield United and Manchester United this week. "Let's not forget the defending champion Man City, though," added Neville. "If they can take the next 9 games they have a real chance too."
