"Arsenal are favourites for the title but will not win it"

Arsenal have won their last five Premier League games - against Everton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Leeds United, and remain in the title race. 

Despite their good performances, Manchester United legend Roy Keane believes they cannot win the title this season. The 51-year-old believes the Gunners will not be able to withstand the pressure of the upcoming games and that City will lift the trophy.

"Arsenal are in a great position, wouldn't have thought that at the start of the season but they've been brilliant, a lot of the young players have been very consistent, they can just focus on the league," he said on 'The Overlap'.

"They're definitely favourites for the title. I don't think they'll do it. I still have to fancy City but Arsenal have got themselves in a great position. You need a little bit of luck, injuries over the last few months, they're in a great position and you have to admire them for that. 

"I just think City are that brilliant. The games the Gunners have to go and win, these are obviously pressure games and they've not dealt with that over the last few years. Even last year with top four they came up short, that's the question mark that's just hanging over them," he added.

Arsenal will face Liverpool on Sunday and will be looking for all three points to stay top of the Premier League.
