The Premier League title race has taken a new turn, with former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood weighing in on the top contenders. According to Sherwood, Arsenal’s biggest rival for the championship is not Chelsea, but rather Manchester City. This assessment comes as the Gunners prepare to face Chelsea on Sunday, a match that could potentially reduce their lead at the top of the table to just three points.

Manchester City, meanwhile, has narrowed the gap between themselves and Arsenal to four points after securing a 3-2 win over Leeds United on Saturday. Sherwood’s comments, made on Sky Sports, highlight the experience of Manchester City as a key factor in their ability to challenge Arsenal for the title. “I think the nearest challengers will come from the team with the experience of being able to win the league and that’s Man City,” he stated.

The upcoming match between Chelsea and Arsenal will undoubtedly be a crucial one, with significant implications for the league standings. However, Sherwood’s comments suggest that Manchester City’s proven track record of winning the Premier League makes them a more formidable challenger in the long run. With their recent win over Leeds United, City has demonstrated their ability to perform under pressure and close the gap with the leaders.

As the season progresses, the dynamics of the title race are likely to continue shifting. Arsenal’s performance against Chelsea on Sunday will be closely watched, as will Manchester City’s upcoming matches. The experience and momentum of Manchester City, combined with their recent results, make them a strong contender to push Arsenal for the top spot. The Premier League title race is shaping up to be an intense and unpredictable one, with several teams still in the running.
