Liverpool legend, 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.
